CHANGING THE WATER FILTER
The water filter is located in the base grille
below the freezer compartment door. It is not
necessary to remove the base grille to remove
the filter.

Remove the filter by pressing the eject
button and pulling straight out on the filter
cap.
NOTES:
Avoid twisting the cap when removing
the filter because this could cause the
cap to come off. If this occurs, replace
the cap and pull the filter straight out.
There will be water in the filter. Some
spilling may occur.
