Further, the manufacturer assumes no responsibility or liability for damages arising out of misuse of the product. Protect from freezing.

INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

Locate your existing filter and remove it by turning the filter counterclockwise. The filter will eject slightly with a clicking sound.
Carefully remove the sanitary cap from the top of the new filter.
Insert the new filter into the refrigerator filter housing. Hold the handle on the filter in a vertical position to insert the filter into the filter housing. Insert the filter and turn the filter a full 14 turn clockwise until you feel it stop. Note: Please ensure the filter is fully installed as it is required to activate the internal water valve. If the filter isn’t properly installed, you may experience a slow flow or a chattering noise. If this occurs, please uninstall and reinstall the filter ensuring the filter is fully installed.
Run approximately 2.5 gallons of water from the dispenser periodically to clear the system and to receive a good flow. If the water flow is slower than usual, please repeat Step 3. Note: Initial flow rate may be slower than expected. Full flow rate should be restored within 24-36 hOurs.
Inspect the filter for any noticeable leaks. If leaks are detected, please repeat Step 3.
To reset the filter monitor light, please refer to your refrigerator owner’s manual for specific instructions.
Locate the included Water Filter Replacement Calendar and follow the instructions on the label.
