28 Changing The Filter
Locating the filters
Your refrigerator is equipped with separate water and air filtering systems. The water filter system filters all dispensed drinking water, as well as the water used to produce ice. The air filter removes odors and impurities from the refrigerator compartment.
Water filter
The water filter is located at the top right side of the fresh food compartment.
Air filter
The air filter is located at the top of the fresh food compartment next to the water filter.
Replacing the air filter
In general, you should change the air filter every six months (the filter status light on the Touch Panel prompts you to replace the filter after six months) to ensure optimal filtering of refrigerator odors. You may want to adjust this time period depending on the types and amounts of food you typically store in your refrigerator. To replace your PureAdvantageTM air filter:
1Pull the air filter housing straight out.
2Remove the old filter and discard it.
3Unpack the new filter and place it inside the housing.
4Slide the housing back into position.
5Press and hold the Air Filter Reset button on the electronic control panel for three seconds. When the display changes from “Replace” to “Good,” the status has been reset.
6The Air Filter Reset will turn itself off after a few seconds.
NOTE
The electronic touch panel, located at the freezer door, includes controls to monitor the status of your air filter. See the Controls section for more information about these controls.
Replacing the water filter
In general, you should change the water filter every six months to ensure highest possible water quality. The Water Filter Status light on the Touch Panel prompts you to replace the filter after a standard amount of water (400 gallons for PureAdvantageTM) has flowed through the system.
If your refrigerator has not been used for a period of time (during moving for example), change the filter before reinstalling the refrigerator.
