Care and Cleaning
Replacing the Water Filter
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.
Locate the water filter cap in the front base grille. Rotate the 1.
cap counterclockwise to a vertical position and pull the cap
and filter cartridge out through the base grille.
NOTE: There will be water in the filter. Some spilling may
occur.
Remove the cap by sliding it off the end of the used filter. The
2.
cap will slide to the left or right.
IMPORTANT: Do not discard the cap. It is part of your
refrigerator. Keep the cap to use with the replacement filter.
Take the new water filter out of its packaging and remove the 3.
cover from the O-rings. Discard the cover.
Slide the cap (removed in Step 2) onto the new filter. See 4.
illustration in Step 2.
With cap in the vertical position, push the new water filter into

the base grille until it stops. Rotate the cap clockwise to a
horizontal position. Flush the water system. See Flushing the
Water System After Replacing Filter.
Flushing the Water System After Replacing Filter
Non-dispensing models: Turn on the ice maker. Allow 24 hours to
produce the first batch of ice. Before using the ice, fill and discard
two full containers of ice to prepare the filter for use.
Dispensing models: Use a sturdy container to depress and hold
the water dispenser lever for 5 seconds, then release it for 5
seconds. Repeat until water begins to flow. Once water begins
to flow, continue depressing and releasing the dispenser lever
(5 seconds on, 5 seconds off) until a total of 3 gal. (12L) has
been dispensed. Additional flushing may be required in some
households.
NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of
the dispenser.
