Replacing the Wafer F'ilter
It is recommended that you replace the filter when the water
filter indicator light turns on or the water dispenser or ice-
maker noticeably decreases production.
Filter Bypass Plug
Keep the filter bypass plug.
You must use the filter bypass plug when a replace-
ment filter cartridge is not available.
The icemaker will not operate without the filter or filter
bypass plug inserted in the proper compartment.
1 Slowly turn the old cartridge to the left. When the car-
tridge 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.

2 Remove the old cartridge. Take the new cartridge out of
its packaging, and remove the red cap. Line up the car-
tridge ears so that it can be inserted into the filter head.

Twist the cartridge right about 1/4 turn.
You will feel a stop and the locked symbol should now be
lined up with the indicator line.
After replacing the filter, flush 2.5 gallons through filter
before use (flush for approximately 5 minutes). Check the
filter for leaks.
After changing the filter, press and hold the FILTER
button for 3 seconds to turn the indicator light off.
