REPLACING THE WATER FILTER It is recommended that you replace the filter when the water filter indicator reaches 0 or the water dispenser or icemaker noticeably decreases production. 1 Rotate the knob of the old cartridge counterclockwise. When the cartridge is released, you will feel it click out of place. NOTE: Replacing the filter causes a small amount of water (around 1 oz. or 25 cc) to drain. Place a cup under the filter hole to contain it. 2 Remove the old cartridge. Take the new cartridge out of its packaging, and remove the protective cover from the o-rings. Hold the cartridge handle in its vertical position, and firmly push the new filter cartridge into place until it stops. After replacing the filter, flush 2.5 gallons through filter before use (flush for approximately 5 minutes). Check the filter for leaks. 1 Use the handle to twist the cartridge clockwise about one turn, until the handle is in a horizontal position. You will feel the filter click into place. NOTE: If the filter will not turn from side to side, it isn't fully inserted. When the water filter indicator displays the message 0 Filter Month, Hold 3 Seconds, reset the water filter status display and indicator light by pressing and holding the LIGHT/FILTER button for more than 3 seconds. To purchase replacement water filter cartridges, visit your local appliance dealer or parts distributor. You can also call 1-877-714-7486. The replacement water filter cartridge's part number is 5231JA2006A. 36
