20_ Setting Up
1. Remove the water filter cover ( 1 )
2. Remove the fixed cap ( 2 ) by turning it counter clockwise.
Keep the cap in a safe place for later use if you don’t use the
filter.
3. Remove the water filter ( 3 ) from the box and put a
replacement indicator sticker (Indicator sticker is included in the
box) on the filter as shown. Place the sticker on the filter that
dates six months in the future. For example, if you install the
water filter in March, put the “SEP” sticker on the filter to remind
you to replace it in September. This way, you can remember the
time to replace the water filter. Normally, a filter life is about 6
months.
4. Remove the filter cap ( 4 ) and insert the filter into the filter
housing.
5. Slowly turn the water filter 90º clockwise to align with the
printing mark on the cover, locking the filter in position. Make
sure to align the water filter label mark ( 5 ) with center of cover
filter printing as illustrated. Remember, do not over-tighten.
Installing the water filter.

Reverse osmosis water supply
iMPoRtant : The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse osmosis system going to the water
inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 35 and 120 psi (241 and 827 kPa).
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the
reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa.)
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):
• Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.
• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage.
• If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a
reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Be sure to flush the dispenser thoroughly or water may leak from it.
This is due to the fact that there is still air in the line.
Removing any residual matter inside the water supply line
after installing the water filter.
1. Turn on the main water supply & turn on the valve to the water supply line.
2. Run water through the dispenser until the water runs clear (approx.
6-7minutes). This will clean the water supply system and remove air from
the lines.
3. Additional clearing time may be required in some households.
4. Open the refrigerator door and make sure there are no water leaks coming
from the water filter.
