About the water filter. Cartridge Holder Place the top of the cartridge up inside the cartridge holder and slowly turn it to the right. Water Filter Cartridge (on some models) The water filter cartridge is located in the back upper right corner of the refrigerator compartment. When to Replace the Filter There is a replacement indicator light for the water filter cartridge on the dispenser. This light will turn orange to tell you that you need to replace the filter soon. The filter cartridge should be replaced when the replacement indicator light turns red 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 to the left. Do not pull down on the cartridge. A small amount of water may drip down. Fill the replacement cartridge with water from the tap to allow for better flow from the dispenser immediately after installation. 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 turn it to the right until the filter cartridge stops. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. As you turn the cartridge, it will automatically raise itself into position. Cartridge will rotate about 1/4 turn. Run water from the dispenser for 3 minutes (about six liters) to clear the system and prevent sputtering. Press and hold the RESET WATER FILTER pad on the dispenser for 3 seconds. NOTE: A newly-installed water filter cartridge may cause water to spurt from the dispenser. Filter Bypass Plug 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, contact your local distributor. 9
