Water Filtration System

Changing the Water Filter

The water filter is located in the base grille below the freezer
compartment door. It is not necessary to remove the base grille
to remove the filter.
1. Remove the filter by pressing the eject button and pulling
straight out on the filter cap.
NOTES:
■Avoid twisting the cap when removing the filter because
this could cause the cap to come off. If this occurs,
replace the cap and pull the filter straight out.
■There will be water in the filter. Some spilling may occur.
2. Remove the cap by turning it counterclockwise until it stops.
IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your
refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.
3. Align the ridge on the cap with the arrow on the new filter and
turn the cap until it snaps into place.
4. Remove the protective covers from the O-rings. Be sure the
O-rings are still in place after the covers are removed.
5. Place the cap (removed in Step 2) on the new filter. Align the
ridge on the cap with the arrow on the filter. Turn the cap
clockwise until it snaps into place.
6. Push the new filter into the opening in the base grille. As the
filter is inserted, the eject button will depress. The eject
button will pop back out when the filter is fully engaged.
7. Pull gently on the cap to check that the filter is securely in
place.
8. Discard the first three batches of ice produced after replacing
the filter.

Using the Ice Maker Without a Water Filter

You can operate the ice maker without a water filter. Your ice will
not be filtered.
1. Remove the filter by pressing the eject button and pulling on
the cap. See “Changing the Water Filter” earlier in this
section.
2. Remove the cap by turning it counterclockwise until it stops.
IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your
refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.
3. With the cap in a horizontal position, insert the cap into the
base grille until it stops.
4. Turn the cap counterclockwise until the cap slips into the
attachment slot. Then, turn the cap clockwise until it is in a
horizontal position.
NOTE: The cap will not be even with the base grille.
