Water filter
CAUTION
Do not use the appliance in places where the water
quality is unsafe or unknown without taking
suitable disinfection precautions before and after
filtering.
A filter cartridge for filtering particles can be obtained
from customer service.
The water filter should be replaced after 6 months at
the latest.
After 6 months, the flashing water filter symbol
prompts you to replace the filter cartridge (see ”Water
filter symbol”).
Other connection requirements
Do not install the filter cartridge if the water pressure
exceeds 116 psi (8.0 bar).
If the water pressure exceeds 80 psi (5.5 bar), a
pressure reducing valve must be installed.
Important note
n Rinse the water system thoroughly if the appliance
has not been used for a long period of time, or the
water has an unpleasant taste or smell. To do this,
extract water from the water dispenser for several
minutes. Replace the filter cartridge if the
unpleasant taste or smell persists.
n The ice maker and water dispenser can be used
without the filter cartridge. In this case, replace the
water filter with the bypass cap.
Installing and replacing the filter cartridge
1. Pull out and then lower the cover.
NOTICE
Remove the filter cartridge carefully!
The water system is under low pressure after use.
2. Carefully turn the filter cartridge 90° anti-clockwise
e.g. with a spoon and pull it out.
3. Take the new filter cartridge out of its packaging
and remove the safety cap.
4. Insert the new filter cartridge and carefully rotate
90° clockwise as far as it will go e.g. by using a
spoon.
NOTICE
The filter cartridge must be tightened by hand so
that no leaks occur and the appliance is sufficiently
provided with water.
5. Raise the cover up and lock it in place.
6. Turn on the water supply to the appliance.
7. Draw about a gallon of water from the water
dispenser. This will remove air from the water
system.
8. Pour out the water in the used filter cartridge. The
filter cartridge can be disposed of in the household
garbage.
9. Press and hold the ”light/filter” button for
3 seconds. The water filter symbol is reset. The
