When to replace the filter cartridge

The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months or earlier

if the flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker decreases.

Touch Screen Models: A filter status message will appear on the

screen when the water filter needs to be replaced. The filter status

message must be reset manually.

The “Water Filter: Replace” status message can be reset by

entering the Settings menu from the home screen. Then, select

the Water Filter menu and press the RESET button. This will reset

the filter status.

Non-touch Screen Models: A filter indicator light (or message)

will illuminate on the screen when the water filter needs to be

replaced. This light must be reset by pressing and holding the

Reset Filter button for three seconds.

The filter cartridge has a maximum life of six months and

should be replaced when indicated by the filter indicator on

the

refrigerator, or sooner if a significant reduction in flow occurs.

Removing the filter cartridge

To replace the filter, first remove the old cartridge by opening

the filter door and pulling on the bottom of the cartridge to allow

it to swing outward. When the cartridge can no longer swing,

gently pull to unseat it from the cartridge holder. DO NOT TWIST

CARTIDGE. A small amount of water may drip out.

water dispenser (about 5 minutes) to

remove air from the system. A newly

installed filter cartridge will cause

water to spurt from the dispenser. Use

a large pitcher or sports bottle to catch

the water spray. DO NOT use the hot

water dispenser or hands-free auto-fill

(some models) until all air is removed

from the system.

4. Reset Filter Status message

Touch Screen Models: Access RESET button through the Water

Filter menu.

Non-touch Screen Models: Press and hold the Reset Filter button

for three seconds.

WARNING Using the hot water dispenser prior to purging air

from the system may result in spurting of hot water and lead

to hot water scalding. Follow the instructions above to purge all air

from the system through the cold water dispenser prior to using the

hot water dispenser.

Note: It is normal for water to appear discolored during the initial

system flush. Water color will return to normal after first few minutes

of dispensing.

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. Th

e dispenser and icemaker will not operate without

either the filter or bypass plug installed. The bypass plug is installed

in the same way as a filter cartridge.

For the maximum benefit of your filtration system, GE recommends the use of GE-branded filters only. Using GE-branded filters in GE

and Hotpoint

refrigerators provides optimal performance and reliability. GE filters meet rigorous industry NSF standards for safety

and quality that are important for products that are filtering your water. GE has not qualified non-GE-branded filters for use in GE and

Hotpoint refrigerators and there is no assurance that non-GE-branded filters meet GE's standards for quality, performance and reliability.
