the top left shelf to 
allow the water filter 
to rotate all the way

fi lter cover to collect any leaking water. Hold the 
water fi lter upright, once it is removed, to prevent 
any remaining water from spilling out of the 
water fi lter.

downward and pull 
out. Make sure to 
rotate the filter down 
completely before 
pulling 
it out of the 
manifold hole.
