AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER PURESOURCE TM * ICE AND WATER FILTER (SOME MODELS) Order new filter cartridges through the dealer where you bought the refrigerator, contact the Electrolux Solutions Hotline at 1-800-944-9044, or go to our web site at www.frigidaire.com. It might be good to order some filter cartridges when you first install your refrigerator. Be sure to ask for the RG-100 PureSource™* replacement cartridge. System Startup: Water supply does not need to be turned off, however, do not use ice and water dispenser while installing filter. The filter cartridge has already been installed in the filter housing at the factory. Refer to the How to Prime the Water Supply System section to properly fill the system with water. The PureSource™ * NGRG-2000 Ice and Water Filter System with the RG-100 cartridge is tested and certified by NSF International, the nationally recognized and respected, not for profit, certification organization for public health safety. The PureSource™* system is tested and certified to ANSI/ NSF Standard 42. See performance data sheet for specifications. This system should not be used on water that is microbiologically unsafe or with water of unknown quality unless the water has been adequately disinfected before or after traveling through the filtration system. • Rated Capacity - 400 gallons • Rated service flow - .5 GPM • Maximum Rated Pressure - 100 PSI • Maximum Operating Temp. - 100° F Changing the Filter: Water conditions vary throughout the world, but changing the water filter every 6 - 9 months normally will ensure the highest possible water quality. Ice jams in the ice maker and/or hollow ice cubes (partially frozen cubes with water inside), may also be a sign that your water filter needs changing. The Filter Status light will turn red after 400 gallons of water has flowed through the ice and water dispenser. Also, if the filter has been in a refrigerator that has not been in use for awhile (during moving for example), change the filter before reinstalling the refrigerator. The dispenser system will also operate without filtration (with filter cartridge removed). To change filter: It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change the filter. 1. Open freezer door and leave open until filter change is complete. 2. Turn OFF side mounted ice maker by raising wire signal arm to the UP position. Turn OFF rear mounted ice maker by pressing ON/OFF power switch to the "O" position. 3. Hold filter cup firmly, and unscrew towards left (Some water could leak out as you remove cup. This is normal.). Filter cartridge should come down with cup. If cartridge remains in housing, pull down gently, while twisting filter back and forth. 4. Rinse out cup under running water. 5. The large o-ring that seals the filter system fits in the o-ring groove inside the cup. Should the o-ring fall out during filter cartridge replacement, simply place it back in the groove prior to screwing the cup back in place. If the o-ring becomes damaged, you will need to order one from the Electrolux Solutions Hotline. 6. Discard old filter cartridge. 7. Remove new filter cartridge from packaging. Place in cup. The end with the small o-ring should be up, out of the cup. 8. Screw cup, with filter, back onto housing. Do Not Use Wrench To Reinstall Cup. Filter cartridge will self-align as cup is tightened. Be sure cup is completely tightened with PureSource™ logo facing outward. Do Not Tighten Past Stop. 9. Turn ON side mounted ice maker by lowering wire signal arm to the DOWN position. Turn ON rear mounted ice maker by pressing ON/OFF power switch to the "I" position. 10. Check for leaks. Open refrigerator door. Wipe any water droplets from the filter cup. Fill a glass with water. If there is a leak, unscrew filter cup, and reinsert the filter cartridge. Check placement of large O-ring. Reinstall filter cup, making certain it is tightened completely. 11. To prime filter system and purge air from water line, continue flushing the system for approximately 3 minutes to assure that the purest water possible is stored in the water tank. There will be noticeable spurts and sputters as the system pushes air out through the system and out the dispenser nozzle. This is normal. IMPORTANT Resetting The Filter Status Light (some models) After replacing the filter cartridge, it will be necessary to press the Filter Status reset button located on the ice and water dispenser. This will reset the Filter Status light. Push the reset button until the green, red and amber lights flash (10-15 seconds). Please refer to the complete dispenser operating instructions attached to the inside of the freezer door. On models without a Filter Status reset button, there is a set of Reminder Stickers included in the envelope that the Use & Care Manual came in. Choose a dated sticker that indicates 6 - 9 months (depending on your water quality and usage) from the date of installation. Place the sticker on the front of the filter cup to remind you when it is time to change the filter. * White Westinghouse uses the name CrystalClear instead of PureSource, but they are the same filter. 12
