All the water to your refrigerator is filtered to remove impurities through a filter cartridge located in a position of your choice outside the refrigerator. This will need changing approximately every

6 months.

■■There is a replacement indicator icon on the internal control panel and external display which will appear when the filter needs replacing. It will flash, as a reminder, when water is dispensed.

■■Replacement filter cartridges are available through Customer Care or online at www.fisherpaykel.com (this service is available to selected markets only). The details of the replacement filter cartridge are on the label of the cartridge. Alternatively filter cartridges can be purchased from your Fisher & Paykel Authorised Repairer.

6To flush the water filter of any trapped air, harmless carbon fines and to also check for leaks, disconnect the tubing from the back of the refrigerator, aim the end of the tubing into a bucket, turn isolating tap on and run at least 10 litres (10 qt) of water through. Once complete turn isolating tap off. Reconnect the tubing.
