Care and Cleaning

Replacing the Water Filter

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.

Locate the water filter cap in the front base grille. Rotate the 1.

cap counterclockwise to a vertical position and pull the cap

and filter cartridge out through the base grille.

NOTE: There will be water in the filter. Some spilling may

occur.

Remove the cap by sliding it off the end of the used filter. The 2.

cap will slide to the left or right.

IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your

refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.

Take the new water filter out of its packaging and remove the 3.

protective cover from the O-rings. Discard the protective cover.

Slide the cap (removed in Step 2) onto the new filter. See 4.

illustration in Step 2.

With cap in the vertical position, push the new water filter into 5.

the base grille until it stops. Rotate the cap clockwise to a

horizontal position. Flush the water system. See Flushing the

Water System After Replacing Filter.

Flushing the Water System After Replacing Filter

Use a sturdy container to depress the water dispenser bar until

the water begins to flow. Flush the water system by dispensing

and discarding 6 qt (5.7 L) of water. Cleaning the system will take

approximately 3 to 4 minutes and will help clear air from the line.

Additional flushing may be required in some households.

NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of

the dispenser.

Using the Dispenser Without the Water Filter

You can run the dispenser without a water filter. Your water will

not be filtered.

Remove the water filter.1.

Slide the cap off the end of the filter.2.

With the cap in the vertical position, insert the cap into the 3.

base grille until it stops.

IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your

refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.

Rotate the cap to a horizontal position. The cap might not be 4.

even with the base grille.
