Water Filtration and Monitoring System (on some models)

The water filter indicator light

The water filter indicator light indicates when to change the water filter cartridge. The light is located on the control panel. When the light changes from green to yellow, this means that it is almost time to change the water filter cartridge (90% of the filter life has been used). The water filter cartridge should be replaced when the water filter indicator light changes to red. Or when water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably (See “Changing a water filter cartridge” later in this section).

Note: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

After changing the water filter cartridge, reset the water filter indicator light by pressing the corresponding switch for

3 seconds.

The indicator light will change from red to green when the system is reset.

Changing a water filter cartridge

The water filter is located below the freezer compartment door.

1.Locate the water filter cartridge cap in the front base grille below the freezer compartment door. Rotate the cap counterclockwise to a vertical position and pull the cap and filter cartridge out through the base grille.

Note: Since the cartridge contains water, 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 the protective cover from the o-rings.

4.Slide the cartridge cap onto the new cartridge as shown.

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.

6.RUN WATER THROUGH THE DISPENSER UNTIL THE WATER RUNS CLEAR (about 9-14 litres or 6-7 minutes). This will clean the system and clear air from the lines.

Note: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.
