Water filter
All the water to your fridge 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 2800 L (740 gallons) 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.
Changing the water filter cartridge
It is not necessary to turn off the water supply before attempting to change the water filter cartridge.
1Grasp and firmly twist the cartridge in an anticlockwise direction (to the left when installed in the recommended orientation) as shown in Diagram 1.
2Pull the cartridge away from the filter head (down when installed in the recommended orientation) as shown in Diagram 2.
– It is not unusual for a few drops of water to be present when filter is removed.
3Discard old filter.
4 Filter installation:
–Remove protective cap on spigot on head.
–Push the cartridge up towards filter head while rotating it in a clockwise direction (to the right when installed in the recommended orientation) as shown in Diagram 3.
5Reset filter indicator icon on the display (this will set to remind you when the filter is due to be replaced again). Refer to page 29.
6Dispense 5 L (5 qt) to flush the cartridge, removing trapped air and harmless carbon fines.
7A few drips may appear out of the dispenser over the next few days as the remaining trapped air is cleared.
