Installing your filter

It is normal for black carbon particles to appear on the outside of your new filter during shipping. Simply wipe it away before installation.
This water filter is designed to prevent leaks. Please twist in place securely to ensure a proper fit.

Twist the old filter a quarter-turn counterclockwise, then pull it straight out.
Remove the reusable color-keyed knob from the end of your old filter, then slide it on your new filter.
Discard the old filter.
Carefully remove the plastic cap from the new filter before installation.
Push the new filter into the refrigerator until it stops.
Twist the filter a quarter-turn clockwise.
Run about two gallons (7.6 L) to three gallons (11.3L) of water through your refrigerator’s water dispenser to remove air and loose carbon pieces. The water may be cloudy and sputter until the air is removed.
Reset your “change filter” indicator (if your refrigerator has one). See below.

Before using your filter

If your refrigerator has a change filter indicator, reset it. See “Resetting your filter indicator” for instructions.

Resetting your filter indicator

Note: These are the most common filter reset instructions. If the instructions don’t work for your refrigerator brand, see the documentation that came with your refrigerator.

Whirlpool® and Kitchen Aid® : Press the light switch five times in 10 seconds. If the fridge has a filter button, press and hold it for 5-10 seconds.
Kenmore®: The water filter reset for Kenmore refrigerators varies by model. See the documentation that came with your refrigerator.

Storage and maintenance

Replace your filter every three to six months to prevent bacteria and fungus growth in your filter, supply lines, and storage tank.
Stored filters do not expire. Keep your unused filters in a cool, dark, and dry place until you need them.
If you do not use your water dispenser for more than four days, run two gallons (7.6 L) of water before using it to prevent bad tasting water.

Troubleshooting

My refrigerator is not dispensing water

Make sure that the filter is securely connected to the receiver. Do not use tools to tighten the filter in place.
Make sure that the water line to the refrigerator is turned on. The valve must be completely open for the refrigerator to receive water.
Make sure that the refrigerator door is closed or the dispenser will not work.

My water dispenser is dripping

A few drops are normal. If the water is dripping constantly, have a service technician check your refrigerator’s water valve.

My water is cloudy or contains black carbon pieces

Cloudy water is caused by microscopic air bubbles. Run two (7.6 L) to three (11.3L) gallons of water from your dispenser to clear the air bubbles out.
Black carbon pieces in the water are normal and appear with all carbon filters. Run two (7.6 L) to three (11.3L) gallons of water through your dispenser to remove loose carbon pieces.

My new filter is making noises or sputtering

Noises and sputtering are caused by trapped air pockets. Run two (7.6 L) to three gallons (11.3 L) of water through your dispenser to push the air out.
Reinstall the new filter as instructed and make sure that the filter is securely connected to the receiver. Do not use tools to tighten the filter in place.

My water tastes bad

If you do not use your water dispenser for more than four days, run two gallons (7.6 L) of water through the dispenser before using it.
Make sure that you replace your filter every three to six months to prevent bacteria growth.
