WATER FILTER
All the water supplied to your refrigerator is filtered through a filter cartridge, this helps
remove unwanted impurities and is located behind the kickstrip grille. To maintain water
quality we recommend replacing the filter cartridge every 6 months.

When the filter cartridge requires replacing, the filter change icon will illuminate on
the internal control panel and/or external display. The icon will flash as a reminder on
the external display whenever water is dispensed.

Replacement filter cartridges (part number: 839041) can be purchased through
Fisher&Paykel Customer Care Center or online at www.fisherpaykel.com (this service is
available to selected markets only).
IMPORTANT!

To avoid serious illness or death, do not use the water filter where water is unsafe or
of unknown quality.

If the water filtration system has been allowed to freeze, replace the filter cartridge
and flush the water system following the instructions on the previous page.

The water filter cartridge needs to be changed when the filter change icon illuminates
on the internal control panel and external display.
