MAINTENANCE 49 ENGLISH 1 Remove the old water filter. Lower or remove the top left shelf to allow the water filter to rotate all the way down. Press the push button to open the water filter cover. NOTE ü Replacing the water filter causes a small amount of water (around 1 oz. or 25 cc) to drain. Place a cup under the front end of the water filter cover to collect any leaking water. Hold the water filter upright, once it is removed, to prevent any remaining water from spilling out of the water filter. • Make sure to rotate the filter down completely before pulling it out of the manifold hole. • Pull the water filter downward and turn it counterclockwise. 2 Replace with a new water filter. • Take the new water filter out of its packing and remove the protective cover from the o-rings. • With the water filter tabs in the horizontal position, push the new water filter into the manifold hole and turn it clockwise. • Rotate the water filter up into position and close the cover. The cover will click when closed correctly. 3 After the water filter is replaced, dispense 2.5 gallons of water (flush for approximately 5 minutes) to remove trapped air and contaminants from the system. Do not dispense the entire 2.5 gallon amount continuously. Depress and release the dispenser pad for cycles of 30 seconds ON and 60 seconds OFF. NOTE Keep the water filter bypass plug. You must use the water filter bypass plug when a replacement water filter cartridge is not available. CAUTION DO NOT operate refrigerator without water filter or water filter plug installed.
