Water Filter Removal and Installation
If your appliance must be connected to the mains water supply to
operate the water dispenser and/or ice maker, it must be a water
supply which delivers potable water only. Ice makers not connected
to a mains water supply must be filled with potable water only.
Initial Installation
The water filter is located in the upper right-hand corner of the fresh
food compartment.
1. Remove blue bypass cap and retain for later use.
2. Remove sealing label from end of filter and insert into filter head.
3. Rotate gently clockwise until filter stops. Snap filter cover closed.
4. Reduce water spurts by flushing air from system. Run water
continuously for two minutes through dispenser until water runs
steady. During initial use, allow about a one- to two-minute delay in
water dispersal to allow internal water tank to fill.
• Additional flushing may be required in some households where
water is of poor quality.
Replacing Water Filter
IMPORTANT: Air trapped in system may cause water and
cartridge to eject. Always dispense water for at least 2 minutes
before removing the filter for any reason. Use caution when
removing.
I .Turn filter counterclockwise until it releases from filter head.
2. Drain water from filter into sink, and dispose in normal household
trash.
3. Wipe up excess water in filter cover and continue with Initial
Installation, steps 2 through 4.
IMPORTANT: Condit ion of water and amount used determines life
span of water filter cartridge. If water use is high, or if water is of poor
quality, replacement may need to take place more often.
To purchase a replacement water filter cartridge, contact your dealer.
The dispenser feature may be used without a water filter cartridge. If
you choose this option, replace filter with blue bypass cap.
NOTES:
1. The bypass cap does not filter water. Be sure to have replacement
cartridge available when filter change is required.
2. If water filtration system has been allowed to freeze, replace filter
cartridge.
3. If system has not been used for several months, or water has an
unpleasant taste or odor, flush system by dispensing water for two
to three minutes. If unpleasant taste or odor persists, change filter
cartridge.
