Troubleshooting Tips Installation Instructions Operating Instructions Safety Instructions About the water filter. (on some models) Water Filter Cartridge The water filter cartridge is located inside the cartridge holder in the back upper right corner of the refrigerator compartment. NOTE: Some models ship with the filter bypass plug in place of the filter cartridge. The filter bypass plug needs to be removed before the filter cartridge is installed. Keep the filter bypass plug for future use. When to Replace the Filter The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months or earlier if the flow of water to the icemaker and dispenser decreases. Installing the Filter Cartridge If you are replacing the cartridge, first remove the old one. To open the cartridge cover, push in where indicated and the cover will drop down. Remove the cartridge by slowly rotating it to the left. A small amount of water may drip down. Filter Bypass Plug You must use the filter bypass plug when a replacement filter cartridge is not available. The dispenser and the icemaker will not operate without the filter or filter bypass plug. Replacement Filters To order additional filter cartridges in the United States, visit our Website, ge.com, or call GE Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002. Filter Model GSWF Suggested Retail Price $34.95 USD Customers in Canada should consult the yellow pages for the nearest Camco Service Center. CAUTION: If air has been trapped in the system, the filter cartridge may be ejected as it is removed. Use caution when removing. Mark your calendar to remind you to replace the filter cartridge in six months. Remove the protective foil from the end of the cartridge. Position the cartridge inside the cartridge holder and slowly rotate the cartridge to the right until it stops. When the cartridge is properly installed, you will feel it "click" as it locks into place. The blade on the end of the cartridge should be positioned vertically. Do not overtighten. Close the cartridge cover. Run water from the dispenser for 3 minutes (about 11⁄2 gallons) to clear the system and prevent sputtering. See To Use the Dispenser section. NOTE: A newly-installed water filter cartridge may cause water to spurt from the dispenser. Consumer Support 6
