REPLACING THE WATER FILTER
1Rotate the knob of the old cartridge
counterclockwise. When the cartridge is
released, you will feel it click out of place.

amount of water (around 1 oz. or 25 cc) to
drain. Place a cup under the filter hole to
contain it.
It is recommended that you replace the filter when
the water filter indicator reaches 0 or the water
dispenser or icemaker noticeably decreases
production.
