Water Filtration System
The Base Grille Water Filter Status Light
The water filter indicator display will help you know when to change your water filter cartridge. The display or light is located at the top of the refrigerator compartment.
NOTE: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
A new water filter should display a reading of 99% and will continue to decrease as the filter life is used. When display reads 10%, it is time to order a replacement filter. It is recommended that you replace the base grille water filter cartridge when the water filter indicator light changes to 0% OR when water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably. (See “Changing the Base Grille Filter” later in this section.)
After changing the water filter cartridge, reset the water filter status light by pressing and holding the RESET for 2 seconds. The indicator light will change to 99% when the filter indicator is reset.
1.Locate the water filter cartridge 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 cartridge. Some spilling may occur.
2.Remove the cartridge cap by sliding it off the end of the old cartridge. The cap will slide to the left or right. DO NOT DISCARD THE CAP.
3.Take the new cartridge out of its packaging and remove protective cover from
4.Slide the cartridge cap onto the new cartridge. See illustration in Step 2.
5.With cartridge cap in the vertical position, push the new filter cartridge into the base grille until it stops. Rotate the cartridge cap clockwise to a horizontal position. Flush the water system (see “Flushing the Water System After Replacing Filter” 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 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) of water. Cleaning the system will take approximately 6 to 7 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 cartridge. Your water will not be filtered.
