Water Filtration System

Replacing the Water Filter

1. Locate the water filter cap in the front base grille. Rotate the
cap counterclockwise to a vertical position and pull the cap
and filter cartridge out through the base grille.
NOTE: There will be water in the filter. Some spilling may
occur.
2. Remove the cap by sliding it off the end of the used filter. The
cap will slide to the left or right.
IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your
refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.
3. Take the new water filter out of its packaging and remove the
protective cover from the O-rings. Discard the protective
cover.
4. Slide the cap (removed in Step 2) onto the new filter. See
illustration in Step 2.
5. With cap in the vertical position, push the new water filter into
the base grille until it stops. Rotate the cap clockwise to a
horizontal position. Flush the water system. See “Flushing the
Water System After Replacing Filter” later in this section.

Flushing the Water System After Replacing Filter

Use a sturdy container to depress the water dispenser bar until
the water begins to flow. Flush the water system by dispensing
and discarding 6 qt (5.7 L) of water. Cleaning the system will take
approximately 3 to 4 minutes and will help clear air from the line.
Additional flushing may be required in some households.
NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of
the dispenser.

Using the Dispenser Without the Water Filter

You can run the dispenser without a water filter. Your water will
not be filtered.
1. Remove the water filter.
2. Slide the cap off the end of the filter.
3. With the cap in the vertical position, insert the cap into the
base grille until it stops.
IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your
refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.
4. Rotate the cap to a horizontal position. The cap might not be
even with the base grille.
Ice Maker and Storage Bin

(on some models - Accessory)

Style 1

To Turn the Ice Maker On/Off:

The On/Off switch for the ice maker is a wire shutoff arm located
on the side of the ice maker.
1. To turn the ice maker on, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is
made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice
cubes will raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up)
position.
2. To manually turn the ice maker off, lift the wire shutoff arm to
the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click to make sure
the ice maker will not continue to operate.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction
may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
filterable cysts.
