Changing The Water and Air Filters 29 Your refrigerator is equipped with separate water and air filtering systems. The water filter system filters all dispensed drinking water, as well as the water used to produce ice. The air filter removes odors and impurities from the refrigerator compartment. NOTE The control panel includes controls to monitor the status of your water and air filters. See the Controls section for more information. About your advanced water filter The PureAdvantageTM NGFC 2000 ice and water filter system is tested and certified by NSF International to NSF/ANSI Standards 42 and 53 for the reduction of claims specified on the performance data sheet. 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. • Rated Capacity - 400 gallons for PureAdvantageTM ice and water filter • Rated service flow - .5 gallons per minute • Maximum Rated Pressure - 100 pounds per square inch • Recommended Minimum Operating Pressure: 30 pounds per square inch • Operating Temp.: Min. 33°F, Max. 100°F Water filter The water filter is located at the lower left side of the fresh food compartment. Replacing your PureAdvantageTM water filter In general, you should change the water filter every six (6) months to ensure the highest possible water quality. The Water Filter Status light on the Touch Panel prompts you to replace the filter after a standard amount of water (400 gallons) has flowed through the system. If your refrigerator has not been used for a period of time (during moving for example), change the filter before reinstalling the refrigerator. It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change the filter. Be ready to wipe up any small amounts of water released during the filter replacement. 1 Turn Off the ice maker on the control panel. 2 Push the filter release button above the cartridge to disconnect it. 3 Slide the old water filter cartridge straight out of the housing and discard it. Push Water Filter Button 4 Unpack the new filter cartridge and remove the two (2) protective caps covering the inlet and exit of the filter. Slide the filter gently into the housing until it stops against the snap-in connector at the back of the housing. 5 Push firmly until the cartridge snaps into place (you should hear two clicks). When fully engaged, the front of the filter cartridge should be flush with the filter release button. Reinstall Water Filter 6 Turn On the ice maker at the control panel. 7 Press a drinking glass against the water dispenser while checking for any leaks at the filter housing. Spurts and sputters may occur as the system purges air out of the dispenser system. 8 Prime the water supply system as described previously. 9 Press and hold the Filter Status button on the control panel for three (3) seconds. When the display changes from "Replace" to "Good," the status has been reset.
