Replacing the Water Filter

It is recommended that you replace the water filter:
Approximately every six months.
When the water filter indicator turns on.
When the water dispenser output decreases.
When the ice cubes are small-
er than normal.
1
Remove the old water filter.
Lower or remove the top left
shelf to allow the water filter
to rotate all the way down.
Press the push button to open
the water filter cover.
NOTE: Replacing the water
fi lter causes a small amount of
water (around 1 oz. or 25 cc)
to drain. Place a cup under the
front end of the water fi lter
cover to collect any leaking
water. Hold the water fi lter
upright, once it is removed, to
prevent any remaining water
from spilling out of the water
fi lter.
Pull the water filter downward
and pull out. Make sure to ro-
tate the filter down completely
before pulling it out of the
manifold hole.
2
Replace with a new water filter.
Take the new water filter out of its packing and remove
the protective cover from the o-rings. With water filter
tabs in the horizontal position, push the new water
filter into the manifold hole until it stops.
Rotate the water filter up into
position and close the cover.
The cover will click when
closed correctly.
3
After the water filter is replaced, dispense 2.5 gallons
(9 litters) of water (flush for approximately 5 minutes)
to remove trapped air and contaminates from the system.
Do not dispense the entire 2.5 gallon (9 litters) amount
continuously. Depress and release the dispenser pad for
cycles of 30 seconds ON and 60 seconds OFF.
