Safety Instructions Operating Instructions About the water filter. (on some models) ge.com Water Filter Cartridge The water filter cartridge is located in the back upper right corner of the refrigerator compartment. When to Replace the Filter The filter cartridge should be replaced when the flow of water to the icemaker decreases, or every six months. Installing the Filter Cartridge If you are replacing the cartridge, first remove the old one. Open the cartridge cover by pressing in on the tab at the front and pulling down. Remove the cartridge by slowly rotating it counterclockwise. A small amount of water may drip down. CAUTION: If air has been trapped in the system, the filter cartridge may be ejected as it is removed. Use caution when removing. Remove the protective foil from the end of the cartridge. Lining up the arrow on the cartridge and the cartridge holder, slowly rotate the cartridge clockwise until it stops. When the cartridge is properly installed, you will feel it "click" as it locks into place. The grip on the end of the cartridge should be positioned vertically. Do not overtighten. Close the cartridge cover. Filter Bypass Plug You must use the filter bypass plug when a replacement filter cartridge is not available. The icemaker will not operate without the filter or filter bypass plug.
