Instruction for Use

WATER FILTRATION AND MONITORING SYSTEM
(ON SOME MODELS)
The water filter indicator light
The water filter indicator light indicates when to change the
water filter cartridge. The light is located on the control panel.
When the light changes from green to yellow, this means that
it is almost time to change the water filter cartridge (90% of
the filter life has been used). The water filter cartridge should
be replaced when the water filter indicator light changes to red.
Or when water flow to your water dispenser or ice maker
decreases noticeably (See Changing a water filter cartridge
later in this section).
NOTE: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe
or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system.
After changing the water filter cartridge, reset the water
filter indicator light by pressing the corresponding switch for 3
seconds.
The indicator light will change from red to green when the
system is reset.
Changing a water filter cartridge
The water filter is located below the freezer compartment door.
1
Locate the water filter cartridge cap in the front base grille
below the freezer compartment door. Rotate the cap
counterclockwise to a vertical position and pull the cap and
filter cartridge out through the base grille.
NOTE
: Since the cartridge contains water, some spilling may occur.
2
Remove the cartridge cap by sliding it off the end of the old
cartridge. The cap will slide to the left or right. DO NOT
DISCARD THE CAP.
3
Take the new cartridge out of its packaging and remove the
protective cover from the o-rings.
4
Slide the cartridge cap onto the new cartridge as shown.
5
With cartridge cap in the vertical position, push the new
filter cartridge into the base grille until it stops. Rotate the
cartridge cap clockwise to a horizontal position.
6
RUN WATER THROUGH THE DISPENSER UNTIL THE WATER
RUNS CLEAR (about 9-14 litres or 6-7 minutes). This will
clean the system and clear air from the lines.
NOTE
: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of
the dispenser.
