Initial Filter Cartridge Installation
1. Twist the cap of the filter bypass 1/4 turn counter-
clockwise (as viewed from the bottom) so the ears on
the plug can disengage. Remove the filter bypass
from the filter head apparatus.
Do Not dispose of this filter bypass. It should be
stored for future use, in the event that you choose to
use the water and ice dispenser without a filter.
2. Carefully remove the filter from its packaging.
3. Apply the month sticker to the cartridge as a
reminder to replace the filter when recommended.
4. Remove the red cap from the filter.
5. Lubricate the O-ring with food-grade vegetable oil.
6. Line up the cartridge ears so it can be inserted into the
filter head. The unlocked symbol will line up with
the indicator line that is molded into the light shield
area. Rotate the cartridge into the head. Twist the
cartridge 1/4 turn clockwise to lock it into place. You
will feel a stop and the locked symbol should now be
lined up with the indicator line.
7. Dispense water through the dispenser for 10 minutes.
8. Carefully check for leaks.
Replacing the Filter Cartridge
1. Twist the filter cartridge 1/4 turn counterclockwise
(as viewed from the bottom) so that ears on the
cartridge are able to disengage from the head. The
unlocked symbol will be lined up with the indicator
line that is molded into the light shield area. Twist
gently until the cartridge is free from the head, but
DO NOT pull. Avoid tipping the cartridge to prevent
spillage. Dispose of the used cartridge.
2. Carefully remove the replacement filter from its
packaging. (Read the label carefully to be sure you
have the correct replacement filter cartridge).
3. Follow steps 3 through 8 under Initial Filter Cartridge
Installation.

PuriClean™
Note: Filter life may be affected by abnormal feed
water conditions or unusual incidents such as hydrant
flushes, reservoir turnover or varying local water
conditions.
Periods of Non–Use
If the refrigerator has been out of use for more than 2
weeks (ie: placed in storage or has been moved), the
filter should be replaced when the refrigerator is put
back into service.
Special Notices
It is essential that operation, maintenance and filter
replacement requirements be carried out as scheduled.
This product is for cold-water use only.
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 water that may
contain filterable cysts.
For your own knowledge and safety, it is recommended
that your water quality be periodically tested.
The contaminants or other substances removed or
reduced by this water treatment system are not
necessarily in your water. The feed water connection
must conform to applicable plumbing codes.
Notes:
• Leave the refrigerator door open while removing
and installing filters or plugs; this will prevent water
from flowing through the system and running into
the fresh food compartment.
• A newly installed water filter cartridge may cause
water to temporarily spurt from the dispenser.
