Water Filter Removal and
Installation
To avoid serious illness or death, do not use
refrigerator where water is unsafe or of unknown
quality without adequate disinfection before or after
use of filter.
After installing a new water filter, always
dispense water for two minutes before
removing the filter for any reason. Air trapped
in system may cause water and cartridge to
eject. Use caution when removing.
• The bypass cap does not filter water. Be sure to
have replacement cartridge available when filter
change is required.
• If water filtration system has been allowed to
freeze, replace filter cartridge.
• If system has not been used for several months, or
water has an unpleasant taste or odor, flush
system by dispensing water for two to three
minutes. If unpleasant taste or odor persists,
change filter cartridge.

Initial Installation

The water filter is located in the upper
right-hand corner of the fresh food
compartment.
1. Remove blue bypass cap and
retain for later use.
2. Remove sealing label from end of
filter and insert into filter head.
3. Rotate gently clockwise until filter stops. Snap filter
cover closed.
4. Reduce water spurts by flushing air from system.
Run water continuously for
two minutes through dispenser until water runs
steady. During initial use, allow about a one- to
two-minute delay in water dispersal to allow
internal water tank to fill.
• Additional flushing may be required in some
households where water is of poor quality.

WARNING
CAUTION

Replacing Water Filter

Important: Air trapped in system may cause water
and cartridge to eject. Always dispense water for
at least two minutes before removing the filter for
any reason. Use caution when removing.
1. Turn filter counterclockwise until it releases from
filter head.
2. Drain water from filter into sink, and dispose in
normal household trash.
3. Wipe up excess water in filter cover and continue
with Initial Installation, steps 2 through 4.
The filter should be changed at least every 12 months.
Important: Condition of water and amount used
determines life span of water filter cartridge. If water use
is high, or if water is of poor quality, replacement may
need to take place more often.
To purchase a replacement water filter cartridge, contact
your dealer or call 1-877-232-6771 U.S.A. or
1-800-688-8408 Canada.
The dispenser feature may be used without a water filter
cartridge. If you choose this option, replace filter with
blue bypass cap.
