ABOUT THE FILTER CARTRIDGE
Filter Cartridge Replacement
You should change your filter when the water flow is noticeably reduced or at least every 3 months.
Replacement Filter Cartridges
Several variables determine how long the cartridge will
last in your Household Water Filtration Housing. These
include:
■ levels of sediment or other undesirable substances in
your water.
■ the amount of water you use.
■ the filter location (filtering all or part of your
household water).

Turn off water to filter. For model GXWH04F, water
must be shut off from an upstream valve. For model
GXWH20F, rotate control handle to the BYPASS or
OFF position. (See Control Handle.)
Press the red pressure release button to release
pressure.
Unscrew the filter canister and discard used filter.
Wash the filter canister with mild soap and water. Do
not use harsh cleaners or hot water.
Inspect the filter canister O-ring. Make sure it is
lightly lubricated with clean food grade silicone
grease (silicone grease is available through GE Parts
and Service: 1.800.626.2002, part number
WS60S10005). Be sure the O-ring is seated in the
groove. It is recommended that you replace the
O-ring if it is damaged.
Place a new filter cartridge into the canister, making
sure it is centered and completely seated on the
bottom seal.
Reinstall the filter canister to the unit. Tighten filter
canister to seal. Use canister wrench if necessary.
Slowly rotate control handle to the FILTER position
(model GXWH20F) or slowly turn on the upstream
shut-off valve (model GXWH04F).

Performance Data Sheet
GXWH20F system using FXUSC (Rev. 2) filter has been tested according
to NSF/ANSI 42 for reduction of the substances listed below. The
concentration of the indicated substances in water entering the system was reduced to a concentration less than or equal to the permissible limit
for water leaving the system, as specified in NSF/ANSI 42. While testing
was performed under standard laboratory conditions, actual performance
may vary.
