The water filter cartridge is located in the upper
right-hand corner of the fresh food compartment,
right below the temperature controls.

The filter cartridge should be replaced every

six months

or earlier if the flow of water to the water dispenser or
icemaker decreases.

Installing the Filter Cartridge

If you are replacing the cartridge, first remove the old
one by slowly turning it to the left.

Do not

pull down on

the cartridge. About an ounce of water will drip down.

Place a cloth beneath the filter to catch any water dripping
during replacement.

Remove and discard the plastic cap from the
new cartridge.

Fill the replacement cartridge with water from the tap.

Apply the month and year sticker to the cartridge
to remind you to replace the filter in

six months

.

Place the top of the cartridge up inside the cartridge
holder.

Do not

push it up into the holder.

Slowly turn it to the right until the filter cartridge stops.

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

As you turn the cartridge, it will

automatically raise itself into position.

Run water from the dispenser for 2 minutes (about one
gallon) to clear the system and prevent sputtering.

NOTE:

A newly-installed water filter cartridge may

cause

water to spurt

from the dispenser.

Filter Bypass Plug

You must use the filter bypass plug when a replacement filter
cartridge is not available. The dispenser and the icemaker
will not operate without the filter or filter bypass plug.
