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
water 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
water 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 water filter with the bypass cap.
