Water Filter

Water Filter Installation/Flushing/Replacement

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.

Installation

1.Take the water filter out of its packaging and remove the cover from the O-rings. Be sure the O-rings are still in place after the cover is removed.

NOTE: See the water filter certification and performance data information in the Use & Care Guide.

2. The water filter compartment is located in the right-hand side of the refrigerator ceiling. Push up on the door to release the catch, then lower the door.

3. Align the arrow on the water filter label with the cutout notch the filter housing and insert the filter into the housing.

4.Turn the filter clockwise 90 degrees (1⁄4 turn), until it locks into the housing.

NOTE: If the filter is not correctly locked into the housing, the water dispenser will not operate. Water will not flow from the dispenser.

5.Lift the filter up into the compartment. Close the filter compartment door completely.

Flushing

IMPORTANT: After connecting the refrigerator to a water source or replacing the water filter, flush the water system to force air from the water line to keep the dispenser from dripping.

1.Use a sturdy container to depress and hold the water dispenser pad for 5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water begins to flow.

2.Continue depressing and releasing the dispenser pad (5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 3 gal. (12 L) of water has been dispensed.

Ice Maker and Dispensers

Hollow ice cubes, slow or no water flow

If the ice cubes are hollow or have an irregular shape, or the water flow decreases, it could be because of low water pressure.

•Make sure the water filter is locked in its compartment. Replace the water filter every 6 months or if it is clogged.

•Make sure you have adequate water supply pressure; check the Reverse Osmosis (RO) system, if applicable.

•Make sure the water line is free of kinks and/or restrictions.

Dispenser or Ice System Jams, No/Slow/Little Ice Production Dispensing, Ice Clumping

•Ice shavings collect in the dispenser chute and may eventually lead dispense cubed ice to clean out the ice chute.

•If necessary, remove the ice clogging the storage bin and delivery utensil.

•An ice cube may be jammed in the ice maker ejector. Remove ice using a plastic utensil.

•Warmth, humidity, or lack of use may cause the ice to clump. clumping occurs, clean the storage bin.
