About the water filter. (on some models) GEAppliances.com Water Filter Cartridge The water filter cartridge is located in the back upper right corner of the refrigerator compartment. When to Replace the Filter on Models With a Replacement Indicator Light 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. Cartridge Holder Run water from the dispenser 1-1/2 gallons (about three minutes) to clear the system and prevent sputtering. Press and hold the WATER FILTER pad (on some models) on the dispenser for 3 seconds. When to Replace the Filter on Models Without a Replacement Indicator Light The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months or earlier if the flow of water to the water dispenser or icemaker decreases. Removing 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. Installing the Filter Cartridge If you are replacing a SmartWater cartridge with an adapter, it must be removed before installing the cartridge. To remove the adapter, turn it to the left about 1/4 turn. If you are replacing a Water by Culligan cartridge, leave the adapter in place. This adapter will stay in the refrigerator when you replace future cartridges. With adapter Without adapter (appearance may vary) Some models use this type of water filter. On models ithout a replacement indicator light, apply the month and year sticker to the new cartridge to remind you to replace the filter in six months. Fill the replacement cartridge with water from the tap to allow for better flow from the dispenser immediately after installation. Line 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.

Filter Bypass Plug SmartWater Filter Bypass Plug Water by Culligan To use the filter bypass plug on Water by Culligan models, you must first remove the filter adapter from the cartridge holder by turning it to the left. For the maximum benefit of your filtration system, GE recommends the use of GE branded SmartWater filters only. Using GE branded filters in GE and Hotpoint refrigerators provides optimal performance and reliability. GE branded SmartWater filters are always the right choice because they are patented and designed specifically for GE products. GE SmartWater filters meet rigorous industry NSF standards for safety and quality that are important for products that are filtering your water. GE has not qualified non-GE branded filters for use in GE and Hotpoint refrigerators and there is no assurance that non-GE branded filters meet GE's standards for quality, performance and reliability. ,I\RXKDYHTXHVWLRQV³YLVLWRXU:HEVLWHDWGEAppliances.com, or call 1.800.GE.CARES (1.800.432.2737).
