WATER FILTER
It is recommended that you replace the water filter:
•
Approximately every 6 months.
•
When the water filter indicator
turns on.
•
When the water dispenser output
decreases.
•
When the ice cubes are smaller
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 filter
causes a small amount of water
(around 1 oz. or 25 cc) to drain.
Before pushing the button to open the
water filter cover, place a cup under
the front end of the cover to collect
any leaking water. Hold the water
filter upright, once it is removed, to
prevent any remaining water from
spilling out of the water filter.
•
Pull the water filter downward
and pull out. Make sure to rotate
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 packaging 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 of water (flush for approximately 5 minutes)
to remove trapped air and contaminates from
the system. Do not dispense the entire 2.5 gallon
amount continuously. Depress and release the
dispenser pad for cycles of 30 seconds ON and 60
seconds OFF.
4. Water Filter Bypass Plug
Keep the water filter
bypass plug. You MUST
use the water filter
bypass plug when a
replacement water filter
cartridge is not available.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate refrigerator without
water filter or water filter plug installed.
NOTE: To purchase a replacement water filter, visit a
Sears store or call 1-800-4-MY-HOME
