MODELS)

Changing the Filter:

Water conditions vary throughout the world, but changing the
water filter every 6 - 9 months normally will ensure the highest
possible water quality. Ice jams in the ice maker and/or hollow
ice cubes (partially frozen cubes with water inside), may
also be a sign that your water filter needs changing. The
Filter Status light will turn red after 400 gallons of water has
flowed through the ice and water dispenser. Also, if the filter has
been in a refrigerator that has not been in use for awhile (during

Resetting The Filter Status Light (some models)

After replacing the filter cartridge, it will be necessary to press the
Filter Status reset button located on the ice and water dispenser.
This will reset the Filter Status light. Push the reset button until
the green, red and amber lights flash (10-15 seconds). Please
refer to the complete dispenser operating instructions attached to
the inside of the freezer door.

On models without a

Filter Status reset button, there is a set

of Reminder Stickers included in the envelope that the Use &
Care Manual came in. Choose a dated sticker that indicates 6 - 9
months (depending on your water quality and usage) from the
date of installation. Place the sticker on the front of the filter cup
to remind you when it is time to change the filter.

PureSource™ * NGRG-2000 Ice and Water

Filter System with the RG-100 cartridge is tested

moving for example), change the filter before reinstalling the
refrigerator. The dispenser system will also operate without
filtration (with filter cartridge removed).

To change filter:

It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change the filter.

Open freezer door and leave open until filter change is
complete.

Turn OFF side mounted ice maker by raising wire signal
arm to the UP position. Turn OFF rear mounted ice maker
by pressing ON/OFF power switch to the “O” position.

Hold filter cup firmly, and unscrew towards left (Some water
could leak out as you remove cup. This is normal.). Filter
cartridge should come down with cup. If cartridge remains in
housing, pull down gently, while twisting filter back and forth.

Rinse out cup under running water.

The large o-ring that seals the filter system fits in the o-ring
groove inside the cup. Should the o-ring fall out during filter
cartridge replacement, simply place it back in the groove
prior to screwing the cup back in place. If the o-ring becomes
damaged, you will need to order one from the

Electrolux

Solutions Hotline.

Discard old filter cartridge.

Remove new filter cartridge from packaging. Place in cup. The
end with the small o-ring should be up, out of the cup.

Screw cup, with filter, back onto housing. Do Not Use Wrench
To Reinstall Cup. Filter cartridge will self-align as cup is
tightened. Be sure cup is completely tightened with
PureSource™ logo facing outward. Do Not Tighten Past Stop.

Turn ON side mounted ice maker by lowering wire signal
arm to the DOWN position. Turn ON rear mounted ice
maker by pressing ON/OFF power switch to the “I” position.

10. Check for leaks. Open refrigerator door. Wipe any water droplets

from the filter cup. Fill a glass with water. If there is a leak,
unscrew filter cup, and reinsert the filter cartridge. Check
placement of large O-ring. Reinstall filter cup, making certain it is
tightened completely.

11. To prime filter system and purge air from water line,

continue flushing the system for approximately 3 minutes
to assure that the purest water possible is stored in the
water tank. There will be noticeable spurts and sputters
as the system pushes air out through the system and
out the dispenser nozzle. This is normal.

System Startup:

Water supply does not need to be turned off, however, do not use
ice and water dispenser while installing filter. The filter cartridge
has already been installed in the filter housing at the factory.
Refer to the

How to Prime the Water Supply System section to

properly fill the system with water.
