REFRIGERATOR USE
WATER FILTER CARTRIDGE - XWFE (Cont.)
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 HaierAppliances.com. In Canada, visit
HaierAppliances.ca. The dispenser and icemaker will not
operate without either the filter or bypass plug installed. The
bypass plug is installed in the same way as a filter cartridge

For the maximum benefit of your filtration system, Haier recommends the use of GE Appliances-branded filters only. Using
GE Appliances-branded filters in Haier refrigerators provides optimal performance and reliability. GE Appliances filters meet
rigorous industry standards for safety and quality that are important for products that are filtering your water. Haier has not
qualified non-GE Appliances-branded filters for use in Haier refrigerators and there is no assurance that non-GE Appliances-
branded filters meet Haier standards for quality, performance and reliability.

6. For dispenser-only models - Run water from the
dispenser for 2 gallons (7.6 liters) or approximately 5
minutes to clear the system. Water may spurt out and
air bubbles may be visible during this process. If water is
not flowing, check to make sure the filter has been fully
rotated to the right.
For icemaker-only models - Discard the first bin of ice
to allow air to purge from the system. A newly installed
filter cartridge will cause water to spurt into the icemaker
body, which could lead to ice droplets around the icemaker
area. NOTE: It is normal for these droplets and initial ice
production to appear discolored during the initial system
flush. Ice color will return to normal after the first bin of ice
production.
7. Press and hold the RESET WATER FILTER button on the
dispenser for 3 seconds. On select models, filter reset will
be automatic when a new filter is installed.
