Whirlpool Essential Guide to Water Filter for Your Refrigerator

Base Grille Water Filtration System

Model P2WG2L/P2RFWG2 Capacity 200 Gallons (757 Liters)

Model P2WG2/P2RFWG2 Capacity 200 Gallons (757 Liters)

System tested and certified by NSF International against NSF/ANSI

Standard 42 for the reduction of Chlorine Taste and Odor, Particulate

Class I*; and against NSF/ANSI Standard 53 for the reduction of Lead,

Mercury, Benzene, Toxaphene, and O-dichlorobenzene.

This system has been tested according to NSF/ANSI Standards 42 and 53 for the reduction of the substances listed below. The concentration of the indicated substances in water entering the system was reduced to a concentration less than or equal to the permissible limit for water leaving the system, as specified in NSF/ANSI Standards 42 and 53.

Test Parameters: pH = 7.5 ± 0.5 unless otherwise noted. Flow = 0.85 gpm (3.2 Lpm). Pressure = 60 psig (413.7 kPa). Temp. = 68°F to 71.6°F (20°C to 22°C). Rated service capacity = 200 gallons (757 liters).

■It is essential that operational, maintenance, and filter replacement requirements be carried out for the product to perform as advertised.

■Use replacement filter P2RFWG2, part #4396841.

2010 suggested retail price of $39.99 U.S.A./$54.95 Canada. Prices are subject to change without notice.

Model P2WG2L/P2WG2: Style 1 – When the filter indicator reads 10%, order a new filter. When the indicator reads 0%, it is recommended that you replace the filter.

Style 2 – When the filter indicator changes from green to yellow, order a new filter. When the indicator changes from yellow to red, it is recommended that you replace the filter.

■These contaminants are not necessarily in your water supply. While testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions, actual performance may vary.

■The product is for cold water use only.

■Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

■Refer to the “Warranty” section for the Manufacturer’s name, address and telephone number.

■Refer to the “Warranty” section for the Manufacturer’s limited warranty.

Style 3 – When the water filter status display changes from “GOOD” to “ORDER,” order a new filter. When the filter indicator reads “REPLACE,” it is recommended that you replace the filter.

Style 4 – Press FILTER to check the status of your water filter. If the filter indicator light is yellow, order a new filter. If the filter indicator light is red, it is recommended that you replace the filter.

Change the water filter cartridge every 6 months. If the water flow to the water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably before 6 months have passed, replace the water filter cartridge more often.
