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.

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 Sears Parts & Repair at1-800-4-MY-HOME_L

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. Filter cartridge will self-align as cup is tightened. Be sure cup is completely tightened with Kenmore logo facing outward. Do NotTighten 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 3 minutes to assure that the purest water possible is stored in water tank.
