Automatic Ice and Water Dispenser

Kenmore Ice and Water Rear Filter (some models)

NOTE: If you purchased a refrigerator with a Kenmore Ice and Water rear filter, please read the following use and care information. This ice and water filter system filters water to your ice maker and water dispenser. It is located in the upper right back corner of the fresh food compartment.

System Startup:

Water supply does not need to be turned off, however, do not use ice and water dispenser while installing filter.

The filter cartridge has already been installed in the filter housing at the factory. Refer to the How The Water Dispenser Works section to properly fill the system with water.

Order new filter cartridges through the dealer where you bought the refrigerator, or contact the Sears PartsDirect at 1-800- 366-PART. It might be good to order some filter cartridges when you first install your refrigerator. Be sure to ask for the Kenmore replacement cartridge 46 9910.

Changing the Filter:

Water conditions vary throughout the world, but changing the water filter every 6 - 9 months normally will ensure the highest possible water quality. The Filter Status light will turn red after 400 gallons of water has flowed through the ice and water dispenser (some models). Also, if the filter has been in a refrigerator that has not been in use for awhile (during moving for example), change the filter before reinstalling the refrigerator. The dispenser system will also operate without filtration (with filter cartridge removed).

To change filter:

It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change the filter.

1.	Open freezer door and leave open until filter change is complete.
2.	Turn the ice maker’s power switch to the Off (“O”) position (See illustration
	on page 16).
3.	Hold filter cup firmly, and unscrew towards left (Some water could
	leak out as you remove cup. This is normal.). Filter cartridge should come
	down with cup. If cartridge remains in housing, pull down gently, while
	twisting filter back and forth.
4.	Rinse out cup under running water.
5.	The large o-ring that seals the filter system sets in the o-ring groove
	down inside the cup. Should the o-ring fall out during filter cartridge
	replacement, simply place it back in the groove prior to screwing the cup	ENGLISH
	back in place. If the o-ring becomes damaged, you will need to order one
	from Sears PartsDirect.
6.	Discard old filter cartridge.
7.	Remove new filter cartridge from packaging and place in cup. The end
	with the small o-ring should be up, out of the cup.
8.	Screw cup, with filter, back onto housing. Do Not Use Wrench To Reinstall
	Cup. Filter cartridge will self-align as cup is tightened. Be sure cup is
	completely tightened with Kenmore logo facing outward. Do Not
	Tighten Past Stop.
9.	Turn the ice maker’s power switch to the On (“I”) position.
10.	Check for leaks. Open refrigerator door. Wipe any water droplets from the
	filter cup. Fill a glass with water. If there is a leak, unscrew filter cup, and
	reinsert the filter cartridge. Check placement of large O-ring. Reinstall
	filter cup, making certain it is tightened completely.
11.	To condition filter system and purge air from water line, fill a glass with
	water. Continue flushing the system for approximately 3 minutes to assure
	that the purest water possible is stored in the water tank.

IMPORTANT: Resetting The Filter Status Light (some models)

After replacing the filter cartridge, it will be necessary to press the Filter Reset button located on the ice and water dispenser. This will reset the Filter Status light. Push the reset button until the green, red and amber lights flash (10-15 seconds). Please refer to the complete dispenser operating instructions attached to the inside of the freezer door.
