To change filter:
It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change the filter.
I. Turn the ice maker's power switch to the Off ("O") position (See illustration
on page 13).
2 Push the Filter Release Button, located to the right of the filter cartridge,
to retease the filter from the housing. To minimize the possibility of the
filter falIing out of the housing during removal, it would be best to hold the
filter as it moves out toward you.
3. Pull the oId filter cartridge straight out of the housing.
4. Discard the old filter.
5. Remove the new filter cartridge from the packaging and insert into the
filter housing the same way the oId one came out.
6. When the cartridge isatmost in, you wiIIfeeI it stop against the clip assembIy
in the back of the housing.The clip assembly holds the filter cartridge
firmty in place. At this point, you will need to push firmty until the cartridge
snaps fully in place. When completely in place, the front of the filter cartridge
will be flush with the front of the housing.
7. Turn the ice maker's power switch to the On ("1")position.
8. Fill a glass with water. As you are doing this, check for leaks at the filter
housing. There will be noticable spurts and sputters as the system pushes
the air out through the system and out the dispenser nozzle.This is normal
9. After you have run one glass of water, continue to flush the system for
approximateIy 3 minutes to assure that the purest water possible is stored
in the water storage tank.
