USING THE REFRIGERATOR: Water Filter Cartridge - XWF
Water Filter Cartridge - XWF (on some models)
Water Filter Cartridge
The water filter cartridge holder is located in the
back upper-right corner of the fresh food refrigerator
compartment.
When to Replace the Filter
If there is a replacement indicator light for the water filter
cartridge on the dispenser, the red filter light will start
blinking to tell you that you need to replace the filter soon.
- For external control models, the filter light will blink
while you are dispensing until the filter is replaced.
- For top control models, the filter light will blink while
the door is open until the filter is replaced.
For models that don’t have the indicator light, the filter
cartridge should be replaced every six months, or earlier
if the flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker
decreases.
Removing the Filter
If you are replacing the filter, first remove the previous
one:
1. Open the filter cartridge housing by squeezing the 2
front tabs and gently pulling down.
2. Rotate the filter down.
3. Gently grasp the filter and slowly turn it
counterclockwise about a ¼ turn. The filter should
automatically release itself when you have rotated it far
enough to the left. A small amount of water may drip
down.
CAUTION
If air has been trapped in the system,
the filter cartridge may be ejected as it is removed. Use
caution when removing.
Filter Bypass Plug
To reduce the risk of property damage due to water
leakage, you MUST use the filter bypass plug when
a replacement filter cartridge is not available. Some
models do not come equipped with the filter bypass
plug. To obtain a free bypass plug, visit us on-line
at cafeappliances.com/service. In Canada, visit
cafeappliances.ca/service. The dispenser and
icemaker will not operate without either the filter or the
bypass plug installed. The bypass plug is installed in the
same way as a filter cartridge.
Installing the Filter in a Bottom Freezer
Refrigerator
1. Open the filter cartridge
housing by squeezing the 2
front tabs and gently pulling
down.
2. Line up the ports on the filter
with the ports on the filter
cartridge holder, and gently insert the filter.
3. Slowly turn the filter to the
right until it stops. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN. As you turn the
filter, it will automatically adjust
itself into position. The filter
will move about a ¼ turn or 90
degrees, until the arrow on the filter
aligns with the arrow on the filter
cartridge holder.
4.
Slowly push the filter up into the clips.
5. Close the filter cartridge housing by
gently pushing the lid upwards until
the tabs lock into place.
6. Run water from the dispenser for 2 gallons (7.6 liters)
or approximately 5 minutes to clear the system. Water
may spurt out and air bubbles may be visible during
this process. If water is not flowing, check to make
sure the filter has been fully rotated to the right.
7. Press and hold the WATER FILTER pad (only on select
models) on the dispenser for three seconds.
