CAUTION
After installing a new water filter, always dispense water for two
minutes before removing the filter for any reason. Air trapped
in system may cause water and cartridge to eject. Use caution
when removing.
• The bypass cap does not filter water. Be sure to have
replacement cartridge available when filter change is
required.
• If water filtration system has been allowed to freeze,
replace filter cartridge.
• If system has not been used for several months, or
water has an unpleasant taste or odor, flush system by
dispensing water for two to three minutes. If unpleasant
taste or odor persists, change filter cartridge.
WARNING
To avoid serious illness or death:
• Do not use refrigerator where water is unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or
after use of filter.
• Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on
disinfected waters that may contain filter able cysts.

NSTALLATION
Initial Installation
The water filter is located in the upper right hand corner of the
fresh food compartment.
1. Remove blue bypass cap and retain for later use.
2. Remove sealing label from end of filter and insert into filter
head.
3. Rotate gently clockwise until filter stops. Snap filter cover
closed.
4. Reduce water spurts by flushing air from system. Run water
continuously for two minutes through dispenser until water runs
steady. During initial use, allow about a one- to two-minute
delay in water dispersal to allow internal water tank to fill.
• Additional flushing may be required in some households
where water is of poor quality.
Replacing Water Filter
IMPORTANT:
Air trapped in system may cause water and
cartridge to eject. Always dispense water for two minutes
before removing the filter for any reason. Use caution when
removing.
1. Turn filter counterclockwise until it releases from filter head.
2. Drain water from filter into sink, and dispose of filter in normal
household trash.
3. Wipe up excess water in filter cover and continue with Initial
Installation, steps 2 through 4.
The filter should be changed at least every 12 months.
Important: Condition of water and amount used determines life
span of water filter cartridge. If water use is high, or if water is of
poor quality, replacement may need to take place more often.
To replacement filter cartridges or for service, contact your local
dealer or Dacor Customer Service, 1-800-793-0093. (U.S.A. and
Canada)
The dispenser feature may be used without a water filter cartridge.
If you choose this option, replace filter with blue bypass cap.
