Water Filtration
and Monitoring System
(on some models)
The water filter indicator light
The water filter indicator light will help you know when to
change your water filter cartridge. The light is located at
the inside top of the refrigerator compartment. The light will
change from green to yellow. This tells you that it is almost
time to change the water filter cartridge (90% of the filter
life has been used). It is recommended that you replace
the water filter cartridge when the water filter indicator
light changes to red OR water flow to your water dis-
penser 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.

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: There will be water in the cartridge. 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 protective cover from 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 2 TO 3 GALLONS
OR 6 TO 7 MINUTES). This will clean the system and
clear air from the lines. Additional flushing may be
required in some households.
NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may
spurt out of the dispenser.
