Quick Start Guide

Installing the lter
• It is normal for black carbon particles to appear on the outside of your new lter
during shipping. Simply wipe them away before installation.
• This water lter is designed to prevent leaks. Please twist in place securely to
ensure a proper t.
1 Twist the old lter a quarter-turn counterclockwise.
2 Pull the lter straight down and discard.
3 Push the new lter up into the refrigerator until it stops.
4 Twist the lter a quarter-turn clockwise.
5 Run about two to three gallons of water through your refrigerator’s water
dispenser to remove air and loose carbon pieces. The water may be cloudy and
sputter until the air is removed.
6 Reset your “change lter” indicator (if your refrigerator has one). See below.
Before using your lter
If your refrigerator has a change lter indicator, reset it.
See “Resetting your lter indicator” for instructions.
Resetting your lter indicator
These are the most common lter reset instructions. If the instructions don’t work
for your refrigerator brand, see the documentation that came with your
refrigerator.
• GE®or Hotpoint®: Press and hold the reset water lter button on the dispenser
for three seconds.
• Kenmore®: The water lter reset for Kenmore refrigerators varies by model. See
the documentation that came with your refrigerator.
Storage and maintenance
• Replace your lter every three to six months to prevent bacteria and fungus
growth in your lter, supply lines, and storage tank.
• Stored lters do not expire. Keep your unused lters in a cool, dark, and dry
place until you need them.
• If you do not use your water dispenser for more than four days, run two gallons
of water before using it to prevent bad tasting water.
