Water filter

All the water that enters your refrigerator is filtered to remove impurities through a cartridge located in a position of your choice outside the refrigerator. Of course, this will need changing approximately every 6 months or up to 740 gallons (2800 L) depending on the quality of the incoming water and how much you use the dispenser.

There is a replacement indicator icon on the control panel which will appear when the filter needs replacing. It will flash, when dispensing water, as a reminder.

Replacement cartridges are available from your authorised Fisher & Paykel Dealer. The details of the replacement cartridge are on the label on the cartridge.
