1. Remove the old water filter.

It is recommended that you replace the water filter:
Approximately every 6 months.
When the water filter indicator turns on.
When the water dispenser output decreases.
When the ice cubes are smaller than normal.
Press the push button to open
the water filter cover.
NOTE: Replacing the water filter
causes a small amount of water
(around 1 oz. or 25 cc) to drain.
Place a cup under the front end
of the water filter cover to collect any leaking water.
Hold the water filter upright, once it is removed, to
prevent any remaining water from spilling out of the
water filter.
3. After the water filter is replaced, dispense 2.5
gallons of water (flush for approximately 5 minutes)
to remove trapped air and contaminants from the
system. Do not dispense the entire 2.5 gallon
amount continuosly. Depress and release the
dispenser pad for cycles of 30 seconds ON and 60
seconds OFF.
