Operating Instructions Safety Instructions About the water filter. Cartridge Holder Filter Bypass Plug 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 every six months or if the flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker decreases. Installing the Filter Cartridge If you are replacing the cartridge, first remove the old one by slowly turning 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, place the top of the new cartridge up inside the holder. Do not push it up into the holder. Slowly rotate the cartridge clockwise until it stops. As you turn the cartridge, it will automatically raise itself into position. Cartridge will rotate about 1/4 turn. Do not overtighten. 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. 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.
