Troubleshooting Tips Installation Instructions Operating Instructions Safety Instructions About the water filter cartridge. (on some models) 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. 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. With adapter Without adapter If you are replacing (appearance may vary) a Water by Culligan cartridge, leave the adapter in place. This adapter will stay in the refrigerator when you replace future cartridges. On models without 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. As you turn the cartridge, it will automatically raise itself into position. The cartridge will move about 1/2 turn. Cartridge Holder Run water from the dispenser for 3 minutes (about 1-1/2 gallons) to clear the system and prevent sputtering. Press and hold the RESET WATER FILTER pad (on some models) on the dispenser for 3 seconds. 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 dispenser and the icemaker will not operate without the filter or filter bypass plug.
