Water Filtration System
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.
IMPORTANT: The disposable water filter should be replaced at
least every 6 months. If the water flow to the water dispenser or
ice maker decreases noticeably before 6 months have passed,
replace the water filter more often.
Install the Water Filter
To order a replacement filter, contact us at www.whirlpool.com/
Parts & Accessories. See the “Quick Start Guide” for details.
NOTE: If the filter is not installed correctly, water may dispense at a lower
flow rate and there will be slower ice production. Improper filter installation
may also cause the water filter housing to leak.
