Water filter
CAUTION
Do not use the appliance in places
where the water quality is unsafe
or unknown without taking
suitable disinfection precautions
before and after filtering.
A filter cartridge for filtering particles
can be obtained from customer
service.
The water filter should be replaced
after 6 months at the latest.
After 6 months, the flashing water filter
symbol prompts you to replace the
filter cartridge (see "Water filter
symbol").
Other connection
requirements
Do not install the filter cartridge if the
w
ater pressure exceeds 120 psi
(8.2 bar).
If the water pressure exceeds 80 psi
(5.5 bar), a pressure reducing valve
must be installed.
Important note
S Rinse the water system thoroughly
if the appliance has not been used
for a long period of time, or the
w
ater has an unpleasant taste or
smell. To do this, extract water from
the water dispenser for several
minutes. Replace the filter cartridge
if the unpleasant taste or smell
persists.
S The ice maker and water dispenser
can be used without the filter
cartridge. In this case, replace the
w
ater filter with the bypass cap.
