FILTER It is recommended that you replace the filter when the water filter indicator light turns on or your water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably. 4. Replace with a new cartridge. Take the new cartridge out of its packaging and remove protective cover from the o-rings. With cartridge knob in the vertical position, push the new filter cartridge into the cover until it stops. After changing the water filter cartridge, reset the water filter status display and indicator light by pressing and holding the BUTTON for 3 seconds. How to change the old cartridge. 1. Turn the shutoff valve off (house valve). 2. Dispense water from the system to empty the tubing (approximately for 50 seconds). If you can't turn the filter from side to side, it isn't fully inserted. Push it in firmly and twist it into place. You will hear it click into place. Using its handle, twist the cartridge clockwise about 1/4 turn. You will hear when it clicks into place. 3. Remove the old cartridge. Rotate the knob of the cartridge counter clockwise. 5. Turn the shutoff valve on (house valve). When the cartridge is removed, it will click out of place. Pull out the cartridge. 6. Flush 2.5 gallons (9.46 liters) of water through filter before use (dispense for approximately 5 minutes). This is necessary to avoid problems when you are dispensing water. NOTE: There will be water in the cartridge. Some spilling may occur through the hole at rear bottom side of cover. You may use a cup or something like that to prevent spilt water drop into food. 23
