changing the Filter:
Water conditions vary throughout the world, but changing the
water filter every 6 - 9 months normally will ensure the highest
possible water quality.
Ice jams in the ice maker and/or hollow
ice cubes (partially frozen cubes with water inside), may also
be a sign that your water filter needs changing. The filter
Status light will turn red after approximately 400 gallons of water
has flowed through the ice and water dispenser. Also, if the filter
has been in a refrigerator that has not been in use for awhile
(during moving for example), change the filter before reinstalling
the refrigerator. The dispenser system will also operate without
filtration (with filter cartridge removed and bypass installed).
