For optimum performance, it’s recommended you change your filter every 6 months(Depends on water quality and level of contaminants)
A. On models without a replacement indicator light, apply the 6 month reminder sticker to the new cartridge and mark your calendar.
B. Locate the filter door in the right side of the refrigerator ceiling.
C. Press tab on the filter cover door to release latch.
D. Remove blue bypass cap located in the refrigerator and retain for later use.
E. Remove sealing label from end of filter and insert into filter head. Rotate gently clockwise until filter stops.
F. Lift filter up into the compartment. Close the door completely.
G.Run water from the dispenser for 6-8 minutes (about 3-4 gallons) to clear the system and prevent sputtering.
H. On models with a replacement indicator light, press and hold the RESET WATER FILTER PAD on the dispenser.

A.Read and follow Use Instructions before installation and use of this system.
B.Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes.
C.Protect from freezing, remove filter cartridge when temperatures are expected to drop below 34℉(1℃)
D.Do not install systems in areas where ambient temperatures may go above 110℉ or below 40℉
E.Do not install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature of this filter system is 100℉(38℃)
F. Do not install if water pressure exceeds 100psi. If your water pressure exceeds 80psi (552kPa), you must install
a pressure limiting valve. Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to check your water pressure.
G.Do not install where water hammer conditions may occur. If water hammer conditions exist you must install a water hammer arrester.
Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain how to check for this condition.
H.Where a backflow prevention device is installed on a water system, a device for controlling pressure due to thermal expansion
must be installed.
I. The disposable filter cartridge MUST be replaced every 6 months, at the rated capacity or sooner
if a noticeable reduction in flow rate occurs.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before or after the system.
