Water Filter Cartridge

The water filter cartridge is located on the underside of the

dispenser housing.

When to replace the filter cartridge

The filter cartridge should be replaced every six months or

earlier if 170 gallons of water has been dispensed or the flow of

water to the dispenser or icemaker decreases.

Water Filter Control Panel: Filter status will be indicated by 3

LED lights:

Green / Good

Yellow / Replace

Red / Expired

The "yellow" LED light indicates that the filter should be replaced;

the consumer has a 2 week period to replace the filter before

the LED will turn "red".

Removing the water filter cartridge

To remove the water filter or bypass plug, swing the water

filter or bypass plug down until it stops (45°) and gently pull it

toward you to unseat it from the holder. DO NOT TWIST THE

FILTER OR BYPASS PLUG.

Installing the Water Filter Cartridge or Bypass

Plug

1. Align the water filter cartridge or bypass plug into the water

filter cartridge or bypass plug holder. The keys on the sides of

the water filter cartridge or bypass plug will seat into key slots

on the inside of the holder.

WARNING

To reduce the risk associated with choking, do not allow children under 3 years of age to have access to small parts

during the installation of this product.

For maximum benefit, GE recommends the use of GE-brand filters only. If you have questions, or to order additional filter

cartridges, visit our website at www.gewaterfilters.com or call GE Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002.

2. Push the water filter cartridge or bypass plug straight into

the opening and continue to push as you swing the water

filter cartridge or bypass plug upward until it snaps into

place. DO NOT TWIST THE FILTER OR BYPASS PLUG.

3. If the water filter cartridge or bypass plug will not swing

easily, check to ensure it is properly aligned and fully

seated into the holder. A newly installed water filter

cartridge or bypass plug may cause water to drip from

the dispenser.

4. Upon a new installation or filter change, place the pitcher

under the dispenser housing and allow it to fully fill. Then

immediately pour it down the drain, repeating for 2 more

times to dispense approximately 2 gallons. This will remove all

of the air from the system.

5. Reset the filter status on the housing, after installing the new

filter, by holding the Filter Change button for 3 seconds. The

filter indicator light above "Good" will turn green over for

Water Filter Status.

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 leaks, you

MUST use the filter bypass plug when a replacement water filter

cartridge is not available. The dispenser will not operate without

either the water filter cartridge or bypass plug installed. The

water filter bypass plug is installed in the same way as a filter

cartridge.
