When to Replace the Filter
The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months or earlier if the flow of water to the water dispenser or icemaker decreases.
Installing the Filter Cartridge
If you are replacing the cartridge, first remove the old one by slowly turning it to the left. Do not pull down on the cartridge. A small amount of water may drip down.
Apply the month and year sticker to the new cartridge to remind you to replace the filter in six months.
Fill the replacement cartridge with water from the tap to allow for better flow from the dispenser immediately after installation.
Lining up the arrow on the cartridge and the cartridge holder, place the top of the new cartridge up inside the holder. Do not push it up into the holder.
Slowly turn it to the right until the filter cartridge stops. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. As you turn the cartridge, it will automatically raise itself into position. Cartridge will rotate about 1/2 turn.
Run water from the dispenser for 3 minutes (about one and a half gallons) to clear the system and prevent sputtering.
NOTE: A
Filter Bypass Plug
You must use the filter bypass plug when a replacement filter cartridge is not available. The dispenser and the icemaker will not operate without the filter or filter bypass plug.
