Water Filter Cartridge - XWF
Water Filter Cartridge
The water filter cartridge holder is located in the
back upper-right corner of the fresh food refrigerator
compartment.
When to Replace the Filter
If there is a replacement indicator light for the water filter
cartridge on the dispenser, a red light will start blinking to
tell you that you need to replace the filter soon. For
models that don't have the indicator light, the filter
cartridge should be replaced every six months, or earlier
if the flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker
decreases.
Removing the Filter
If you are replacing the filter, first remove the previous
one by gently grasping the filter and slowly turning it to
the left, about a ¼ turn. The filter should automatically
release itself when you have rotated it far enough to the
left. A small amount of water may drip down.
CAUTION
If air has been trapped in the system,
the filter cartridge may be ejected as it is removed. Use
caution when removing.
Filter Bypass Plug
To reduce the risk of property damage due to water
leakage, you MUST use the filter bypass plug when a
replacement filter cartridge is not available. Some models
do not come equipped with the filter bypass plug. To
obtain a free bypass plug, visit us on-line at
cafeappliances.com/service. In Canada, visit

will not operate without either the filter or the bypass plug
installed. The bypass plug is installed in the same way as
WARNING
to have access to small parts during the installation of this product. The disposable filter cartridge should be
