About the HDX FMG-1 water filter cartridge
Water filter cartridge
The water filter cartridge is located in the back upper right corner
of the refrigerator compartment.
When to replace the filter on models with a
replacement indicator light
There is a replacement indicator light for the water filter cartridge
on the dispenser. This light will turn orange to tell you that you
need to replace the filter soon.
The filter cartridge should be replaced when the replacement
indicator light turns red or if the flow of water to the dispenser
or icemaker decreases.
When to replace the filter on models without a
replacement indicator light
The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months or
earlier if the flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker decreases
or when 170 gallons has been used.
Removing the filter cartridge
If you are replacing the cartridge, first remove the old one by
slowly turning it to the left. Do not pull down on the cartridge. A
small amount of water may drip down.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property
damage due to water leakage, read and follow instructions before
installation and use of this system. Installation and use MUST
comply with all state and local plumbing codes.
Installing the filter cartridge
1. Fill the replacement cartridge with water from the tap to allow
for better flow from the dispenser immediately after
installation.
2. Line up the arrow on the cartridge and the
cartridge holder. Place the top of the new
cartridge up inside the holder. Do not push
it up into the holder.
3. Slowly turn it to the right until the filter
cartridge stops. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
As you turn the cartridge, it will
automatically raise itself into position. The
cartridge will move about a ½ turn.
4. Run water from the dispenser for 3 gallons (about 6 minutes)
to clear the system and prevent sputtering.
5. Press and hold the RESET WATER FILTER pad (on some
models) on the dispenser for three seconds.
NOTE: A newly installed water filter cartridge may cause water to
spurt from the dispenser.
Filter bypass plug
You must use the filter bypass plug when a replacement filter
cartridge is not available. The dispenser and the icemaker will not
operate without the filter or filter bypass plug.
To use the filter bypass plug on Water by Culligan
™
models, you
must first remove the filter adaptor from the cartridge holder by
turning it to the left.
To reduce the risk associated with choking, do not allow children under 3 years of age to have access to small
parts during the installation of this product. The disposable filter cartridge should be replaced every 6 months at the
rated capacity, or sooner if a noticeable reduction in flow rate occurs.
