Water Dispenser & Ice Service (continued)

PureSource TM * ICE AND WATER FILTER (some models)

NOTE: If you purchased a refrigerator with a PureSource TM * Ice and Water 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, contact the Customer Care Center at 1-800-944-9044, or go to our web site at www.frigidaire.com. It might be good to order some filter cartridges when you first install your refrigerator. Be sure to ask for the RG-100 PureSource™* replacement cartridge.

The PureSource™ * NGRG-

2000 Ice and Water Filter System with the RG-100 cartridge is tested and certified by NSF International, the

nationally recognized and respected, not for profit, certification organization for public health safety. The PureSource™* system is tested and certified to ANSI/NSF Standard

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. 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.Set ice maker wire signal arm to the OFF (up) position (See illustration on page 13). Turn dispenser lock to the locked position.

2.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.

3.Rinse out cup under running water.

4.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 back in place. If the o-ring becomes damaged, you will need to order one from the Consumer Assistance Center.

5.Discard old filter cartridge.

6.Remove new filter cartridge from packaging and place in cup. The end with the small o-ring should be up, out of the cup.

7.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 PureSource™ logo facing outward. Do Not

Tighten Past Stop.

8.Set ice maker wire signal arm to the ON (down) position.

9.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.

10.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.

Filter Replacement Reminder Stickers

There is a set of Reminder Stickers included in the envelope that the Use & Care Guide came in. Choose a dated sticker that indicates 6 - 9 months (depending on your water quality and usage) from the date of installation. Place the sticker on the front of the filter cup to remind you when it is time to change the filter.

* White Westinghouse uses the name CrystalClear instead of PureSource, but they are the same filter
