Water Filter Status Light; Water Filtration System - Sears Galaxy 2305803 Manual De Uso Y Cuidado

Water Filter Status Light
(on some models)
The water filter status light, located at the top of the refrigerator
compartment, will help you know when to change your water
filter cartridge. When the indicator light changes 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 dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably. To change
the water filter cartridge, see "Changing the Water Filter
Cartridge" later in this section.
After changing the water filter cartridge, reset the water filter
indicator light by pressing the light switch 5 times within
10 seconds. The indicator light will change from red to green
when the system is reset.

Non-Indicator Water Filter (on some models)
If your refrigerator does not have the water filter status light, you
should change the water filter cartridge every 6 to 9 months
depending upon your usage. If the water flow to the water
dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably before 6 months
have passed, replace the water filter cartridge more often.

Flushing the Water System After Replacing Filter
Use a sturdy container to depress the water dispenser bar until
the water begins to flow. Flush the water system by dispensing
and discarding 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) of water. Cleaning the
system will take approximately 6 to 7 minutes and will help clear
air from the line. Additional flushing may be required in some
households.
NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of
the dispenser.
Using the Dispenser Without the Water Filter
