INSTALLING THE FILTER IN A MULTI-DOOR
BOTTOM FREEZER REFRIGERATOR
1. Open the filter cartridge housing by
pulling the door open.
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 filter cannot be
turned, and the label faces outward.
4. Slowly push the filter up into the
clips.
5. Close the filter cartridge housing
by gently pushing the door closed
until the tabs lock into place.
6. Continue following instructions
shown in Purging the Filter and
Reset Filter Change Indicator
Sections.
PURGING THE FILTER
For dispenser models - Run water from the dispenser for 2
gallons (approximately 5 minutes) to clear the system. Water may
spurt out and air bubbles may be visible during the process. If
water is not flowing, check to make sure the filter has been fully
rotated to the right. Use a large pitcher or sports bottle to catch
the water spray. NOTE: It is normal for water to appear discolored
during the initial system flush. Water color will return to normal
after the first few minutes of dispensing.
For icemaker-only models - Discard the first bin of ice to allow
air to purge from the system. A newly installed filter cartridge will
cause water to spurt into the icemaker body, which could lead to
ice droplets around the icemaker area. NOTE: It is normal for
these droplets and initial ice production to appear discolored
during the initial system flush. Ice color will return to normal after
the first bin of ice production.
RESET FILTER CHANGE INDICATOR
For Bottom Freezer and Side-by-Side models - Press and hold
the RESET WATER FILTER button on the dispenser for three
seconds. On select models, filter reset will be automatic when
new filter is installed.
For Multi-Door Bottom Freezer models - When dispensing
water, press the button underneath the Confirm Filter Change
message. On select models, filter reset will be automatic when
new filter is installed.
