AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER

NOTENOTE

NOTE

If you purchased a refrigerator with a

PureSource2

TM *

Ice and Water front filter, please read the following use

and care information. This ice and water filter system

filters water to your ice maker and water dispenser. It is

located in the upper right front corner of the fresh food

compartment.

Changing the Filter:

Water conditions vary throughout the world, but changing the

water filter every

6 - 9 months normally will ensure the highest possible water

quality. The Filter Status light will turn red after approximately

400 gallons of water has flowed through the ice and water

dispenser. Also, if the filter has been in a refrigerator that has not

been in use for awhile (during moving for example), change the

(SOME MODELS)

System Startup:

Water supply does not need to be turned off, however, do not

use ice and water dispenser while installing filter.

The filter cartridge has already been installed in the filter

housing at the factory. Refer to the

How The Water Dispenser

Works

section to properly fill the system with water.

Order new filter

cartridges through the

dealer where you

bought the refrigerator,

contact the

Consumer

Assistance Center

at 1-

800-944-9044, or go to

our web site at

www.frigidaire.com. It

might be good to order

some filter cartridges

when you first install

your refrigerator. Be

sure to ask for

the

replacement cartridge.

The

PureSource2

TM*

Ice and Water Filter

System NGFC 2000 with the

PureSource2

TM*

cartridge FC 100 is tested and certified by

NSF International, the nationally recognized

and respected, not for profit, certification

organization for public health safety. The

PureSource2

filter before reinstalling the refrigerator. The dispenser system

will also operate without filtration (with filter cartridge removed

and bypass installed).

To change filter:

It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change the

filter.

1. Set ice maker wire signal arm to the OFF (up) position

(See illustration on page 10).

2. Push the

Filter Release Button

, located to the right of the

filter cartridge, to release the filter from the housing. To

minimize the possibility of the filter falling out of the

housing during removal, it would be best to hold the

filter as it moves out toward you.

NOTE

A small amount of water may be released during this

operation. You should have a paper towel or dish cloth

handy to wipe up any water that may drip out of the filter or

housing. Two small holes near the back of the housing

have been added for any excess water to escape. It would

be best to clear away any food near this area on the top

shelf in advance of removing the filter.

3. Pull the old filter cartridge straight out of the housing.

4. Discard the old filter.

5. Remove the new filter cartridge from the packaging and

insert into the filter housing the same way the old one

came out.

6. When the cartridge is almost in, you will feel it stop against

the clip assembly in the back of the housing. The clip

assembly holds the filter cartridge firmly in place. At this

point, you will need to push firmly until the cartridge

snaps fully in place. When completely in place, the front of

the filter cartridge will be flush with the front of the housing.

7. Set the ice maker wire signal arm to the ON (down)

position.

8. Fill a glass with water. As you are doing this, check for

leaks at the filter housing. There will be noticable spurts

and sputters as the system pushes the air out through the

system and out the dispenser nozzle. This is normal.

9. After you have run one glass of water, continue to flush the

system for approximately 3 minutes to assure that the

purest water possible is stored in the water storage tank.
