29 Changing The Water and Air Filters
Your refrigerator is equipped with separate water and
air filtering systems. The water filter system filters all
dispensed drinking water, as well as the water used to
produce ice. The air filter removes odors and impurities
from the refrigerator compartment.
Push Water Filter Button
NOTE
The control panel includes controls to monitor the
status of your water and air filters. See the Controls
section for more information.
About your advanced water filter
The PureAdvantage TM NGFC 2000 ice and
water filter system is tested and certified by NSF
International to NSF/ANSI Standards 42 and
53 for the reduction of claims specified on the
performance data sheet.
Water filter
The water filter is located at the lower left side of the fresh
food compartment.
Replacing your PureAdvantage TM water filter
In general, you should change the water filter every six (6)
months to ensure the highest possible water quality. The
Water Filter Status light on the Touch Panel prompts you
to replace the filter after a standard amount of water (400
gallons) has flowed through the system.
If your refrigerator has not been used for a period of time
(during moving for example), change the filter before
reinstalling the refrigerator.
It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change
the filter. Be ready to wipe up any small amounts of water
released during the filter replacement.
1 Turn Off the ice maker on the control panel.
2 Push the filter release button above the cartridge
to disconnect it.
3 Slide the old water filter cartridge straight out of the
housing and discard it.
4 Unpack the new filter cartridge and remove the
two (2) protective caps covering the inlet and exit
of the filter. Slide the filter gently into the housing
until it stops against the snap-in connector at the
back of the housing. Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after
the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used
on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.
