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.
Replacing
Water
Filter

use is high, or if water is of poor quality, replacement
may need to take place more often.

a water
filter cartridge.
If you choose this option, replace filter
with blue bypass cap.
