Water Filter (select models)
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.

WARNING
CAUTION
Replacing Water Filter
IMPORTANT: Air trapped in system may cause
water and cartridge to eject. Always dispense
water for at least 2 minutes before removing the
filter for any reason. Use caution when removing.
1. Turn filter counterclockwise until it releases from

normal household trash.
3. Wipe up excess water in filter cover and continue
with Initial Installation, steps 2 through 4.
The filter should be changed at least every 12 months.
IMPORTANT: Condition of water and amount used
determines life span of water filter cartridge. If water
use is high, or if water is of poor quality, replacement
may need to take place more often.
