Interior Water Filter Installation

(on some models)
The interior water filter cartridge is located in the upper right-
hand corner of the fresh food compartment of the refrigerator.
The interior water filter cartridge should be replaced every six
months or earlier if the flow of water to your water dispenser or
ice maker decreases noticeably. (See "Replacing an interior water
filter cartridge" in the features section of this book.)
Installing the interior water filter cartridge
NOTE: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe
or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system.
1. Carefully remove the interior water filter cartridge from its
packaging. Remove the red cap from the cartridge.
2. Apply the appropriate month sticker to the cartridge as a
reminder to replace the cartridge within six months. Then
apply the "Water Filter Replacement Reminder" sticker to
your calendar as a reminder to replace the cartridge in six
months.
3. Line up the INSTALL mark on the water filter label with the
indicator line that is molded into the filter mounting bracket
cover. Push the cartridge into the filter mounting bracket.
Twist the cartridge ¹⁄₄ turn to the right to lock it into place. The
REMOVE mark should be lined-up with the indicator line
located on the front cover.
4. RUN WATER THROUGH THE DISPENSER UNTIL THE
WATER RUNS CLEAR (about 2-3 gallons or 6-7 minutes).
This will clean the system and clear air from the lines.
Additional flushing may be required in some households.
NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out
of the dispenser.
5. Open the refrigerator door and inspect the filter system for
water leaks. If you see water leaks, see the "Troubleshooting"
section.
NOTE: You can run the dispenser without a water filter cartridge.
Your water will not be filtered.

Water System Preparation

Please read before using the water system.
Immediately after installation, follow the steps below to make
sure that the water system is properly cleaned.

lift up the wire shut-off arm as shown. For Style 2 move the
switch to the OFF (right) setting as shown.

2. Flush the water system by dispensing and discarding
2 to 3 gallons (approximately 6 to 7 minutes) of water through
the dispenser. This will clean the system and help clear air
from the lines. Additional flushing may be required in some
households.
3. Open the freezer door and turn on the ice maker. For Style 1
lower the wire shut-off arm. For Style 2 move the switch to
the ON (left) position. Please refer to the "Ice Maker and
Storage Bin/Bucket" features section for further instructions
on the operation of your ice maker.

NORMAL
1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
2. Move the refrigerator into its final position.
3. Remove the base grille (see "Base Grille" earlier in this

Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.
Discard the first three batches of ice produced.
Depending on your model, you may want to select the
maximum ice feature to increase the production of ice. To
do so, set the switch on the front of the ice maker to MAX.
