EN 22 Water filter (for Ice & Water models only)
All the water that enters your refrigerator is filtered through a cartridge located in the top, right- hand side of the refrigerator compartment to remove impurities. Like all filters, this will need changing every 12 months. This time may vary depending on the quality of the incoming water and how much you use the dispenser.
There is a replacement water filter icon on the control panel which will appear when the filter needs replacing. It will flash, as a reminder, when water is dispensed.
To purchase a replacement water filter cartridge (part number 13040210), contact your dealer or call 1.888.9.FNP.USA (1.888.936.7872).

Additional flushing may be required in some households where water is of poor quality.
The water dispenser may be used without a water filter cartridge. If you choose this option, replace filter with the blue bypass cap supplied.
