WARNING
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 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.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk associated with property damage
due to water leakage, read and follow instructions before installation
and use of this system. Installation and use MUST comply with all state
and local plumbing codes.
Installing the filter cartridge
1
Fill the replacement cartridge with water from the tap to allow
for better flow from the dispenser immediately after installation.
2
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.
3
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 a ½ turn.
4
Run water from the dispenser for 1-1/2 gallons
(about three minutes) to clear the system and prevent sputtering.
5
Press and hold the RESET WATER FILTER pad (on some models)
on the dispenser for three seconds.
NOTE: A newly installed water filter cartridge may cause water
to spurt from the dispenser.
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 adaptor from the cartridge holder by turning it to the left.
