Thermador KBULT3675E Water Filter Status, Water Filtration System, Replacing the Water Filter

NOTE: If the Max Cool feature has been selected prior to turning on the Holiday feature, then the set points will remain at 34°F (1°C) and -5°F (-21°C) for the refrigerator and freezer compartments, respectively, until the Max Cool feature times out. The refrigerator will then return to the previous temperature set points chosen prior to the selection of the Max Cool feature, but the lights and ice maker will remain off until the Holiday key is pressed again.

Water Filter Status

The water filter status display will help you know when to change the water filter. The display is located at the top of the refrigerator compartment.

A new water filter should display a reading of 99%. The reading in the display will decrease as the filter life is used. When the display reads 10%, it is time to order a replacement water filter. It is recommended that you replace the filter when the filter display changes to 0% OR when water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably. See “Changing the Water Filter” later in this section.

After changing the water filter, press and hold RESET for 2 seconds until the status display changes to 99%.

Water Filtration System

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.
