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 water dispenser or icemaker
decreases.
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.
Installing the Filter Cartridge
If you are replacing a SmartWater cartridge with an
adapter, it must be removed before installing the cartridge.
To remove the adapter, turn it to the left about 1/4 turn.
If you are replacing a Water by Culligan cartridge, leave the
adapter in place. This adapter will stay in the refrigerator
when you replace future cartridges.
On models ithout a replacement indicator light, apply the
month and year sticker to the new cartridge to remind you
to replace the filter in six months.
Fill the replacement cartridge with water from the tap to
allow for better flow from the dispenser immediately after
installation.
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.
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 1/2
turn.
Run water from the dispenser 1-1/2 gallons (about three
minutes) to clear the system and prevent sputtering.
Press and hold the WATER FILTER pad (on some models) on
the dispenser for 3 seconds.
NOTE: A newly-installed water filter cartridge may cause water
to spurt from the dispenser upon first use.
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 adapter from the cartridge holder by
turning it to the left.
For the maximum benefit of your filtration system, GE
Appliances recommends the use of GE Appliances branded
SmartWater filters only. Using GE Appliances branded
filters in GE Appliances and Hotpoint refrigerators provides
optimal performance and reliability. GE Appliances branded
SmartWater filters are always the right choice because they are
patented and designed specifically for GE Appliances products.
SmartWater filters meet rigorous industry NSF standards for
safety and quality that are important for products that are
filtering your water. GE Appliances has not qualified non-GE
Appliances branded filters for use in GE Appliances and Hotpoint
refrigerators and there is no assurance that non-GE Appliances
branded filters meet GE Appliances standards for quality,
performance and reliability.
