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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
