About the GE® RPWF water filter cartridge.

Water Filter Cartridge

The water filter cartridge is located in one of the following places: Bottom-freezer (BF) refrigerators:

-In the water filter compartment on the right side wall of the left-hand fresh food door.

-In the fresh food interior on the left side wall, near the top.

When to replace the filter cartridge

The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months or earlier if the flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker decreases.

Touch Screen Models: A filter status message will appear on the screen when the water filter needs to be replaced. The filter status message must be reset manually.

The “Water Filter: Replace” status message can be reset by entering the Settings menu from the home screen. Then, select the Water Filter menu and press the RESET button. This will reset the filter status.

Non-touch Screen Models: A filter indicator light (or message) will illuminate on the screen when the water filter needs to be replaced. This light must be reset by pressing and holding the Reset Filter button for three seconds.

The filter cartridge has a maximum life of six months and should be replaced when indicated by the filter indicator on the refrigerator, or sooner if a significant reduction in flow occurs.

Removing the filter cartridge

To replace the filter, first remove the old cartridge by opening the filter door and pulling on the bottom of the cartridge to allow it to swing outward. When the cartridge can no longer swing, gently pull to unseat it from the cartridge holder. DO NOT TWIST CARTIDGE. A small amount of water may drip out.

Installing the Filter Cartridge

1.Align top of filter with cartridge holder and push until cartridge is fully seated.

2.While continuing to ensure cartridge is fully seated in the holder, gently swing the filter inward until it is in a

vertical position. If filter will not swing easily, check to ensure filter is properly aligned and fully seated within the cartridge holder.

3. Run 2 gallons of water through the cold

 

water dispenser (about 5 minutes) to

 

remove air from the system. A newly

 

installed filter cartridge will cause

 

water to spurt from the dispenser. Use

Push/Pull

a large pitcher or sports bottle to catch

Swing

the water spray. DO NOT use the hot

 

water dispenser or hands-free auto-fill

 

(some models) until all air is removed

 

from the system.

 

4. Reset Filter Status message

Touch Screen Models: Access RESET button through the Water Filter menu.

Non-touch Screen Models: Press and hold the Reset Filter button for three seconds.

WARNING Using the hot water dispenser prior to purging air from the system may result in spurting of hot water and lead

to hot water scalding. Follow the instructions above to purge all air from the system through the cold water dispenser prior to using the hot water dispenser.

Note: It is normal for water to appear discolored during the initial system flush. Water color will return to normal after first few minutes of dispensing.

Filter Bypass Plug

To reduce the risk of property damage due to water leakage, you MUST use the filter bypass plug when a replacement filter cartridge is not available. The dispenser and icemaker will not operate without either the filter or bypass plug installed. The bypass plug is installed in the same way as a filter cartridge.

WARNING

To reduce the risk associated with choking, do not allow children under 3 years of age to have access to small parts during the installation of this product. The disposable filter cartridge should be replaced every 6 months at the rated capacity, or sooner if a noticeable reduction in flow rate occurs.

For the maximum benefit of your filtration system, GE recommends the use of GE-branded filters only. Using GE-branded filters in GE and Hotpoint® refrigerators provides optimal performance and reliability. GE filters meet rigorous industry NSF standards for safety and quality that are important for products that are filtering your water. GE has not qualified non-GE-branded filters for use in GE and Hotpoint refrigerators and there is no assurance that non-GE-branded filters meet GE's standards for quality, performance and reliability.
