Ice and Water Filter (some models)

NOTE: If you purchased a refrigerator with a Ice and Water filter, please read the following use and care information.

This ice and water filter system filters water to your ice maker and water dispenser. It is located in the upper right back corner of the fresh food compartment (see Figure1).

System Startup:

Water supply does not need to be turned off, however do not use ice and water dispenser while installing filter. Refer to Figure 1 as you complete these instructions.

The filter cartridge has already been installed in the filter housing at the factory. Refer to the How the Dispenser Works section to properly fill the system with water.

Changing the Filter:

Water quality varies throughout the world. To ensure the highest possible water quality, change water filter every 6 months, or 200 gallons. Also, if filter has been in a refrigerator that has not been in use for awhile (during moving for example), change filter before reinstalling refrigerator. Note dispenser system will also operate without filtration (with filter cartridge removed).

To change filter:

Refer to Figure 1 as needed. It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change the filter.

1.Set ice maker lever (wire signal arm) to the OFF (up) position.

2.Hold filter cup firmly, and unscrew counter clockwise (Figure 1). (Some water could leak out as you remove cup. This is normal.) Filter cartridge should come down with cup. If cartridge remains in housing, pull down gently, while twisting filter back and forth.

3.Empty cup of any substance.

4.The large o-ring (Figure 1) that seals the filter system sets in the o-ring groove down inside the cup. Should the o-ring fall out during filter cartridge replacement, simply place it back in the groove prior to screwing the cup back in place. If the o-ring becomes damaged, you will need to order a new one from the Consumer Assistance Center.

5.Discard old filter cartridge.

6.Remove new filter cartridge from packaging, and install.

7.Place filter cartridge in cup. The end with the small o-ring should be up, out of the cup.

8.Screw cup, with filter, back onto housing. Filter cartridge will self-align as cup is tightened. Be sure cup is completely tightened. Do Not Tighten Past Stop.

9.Set ice maker level on the ON (down) position.
