AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER
PURESOURCE
TM
* ICE AND WATER FILTER (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.
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
400 gallons of water has flowed through the ice and water
dispenser (some models). Also, if the filter has been in a
refrigerator that has not been in use for awhile (during moving
for example), change the filter before reinstalling the refrigerator.

Resetting The Filter Status Light (some models)
After replacing the filter cartridge, it will be necessary to
press the Filter Status reset button located on the ice and
water dispenser. This will reset the Filter Status light. Push
the reset button until the green, red and amber lights flash
(10-15 seconds). Please refer to the complete dispenser
operating instructions attached to the inside of the freezer
door.
On models without a Filter Status reset button, there is a
set of Reminder Stickers included in the envelope that the
Use & Care Manual came in. Choose a dated sticker that
indicates 6 - 9 months (depending on your water quality
and usage) from the date of installation. Place the sticker
on the front of the filter cup to remind you when it is time to
change the filter.

To change filter:
It is not necessary to turn the water supply off to change the filter.
1. Open freezer door and leave open until filter change is
complete.
2. Set ice maker wire signal arm to the OFF (up) position
(See illustration on page 10).
3. Hold filter cup firmly, and unscrew towards left (Some
water could leak out as you remove cup. This is normal.).
Filter cartridge should come down with cup. If cartridge
remains in housing, pull down gently, while twisting filter
back and forth.
4. Rinse out cup under running water.
5. The large o-ring that seals the filter system sets in the o-
ring groove down inside the cup. Should the o-ring fall out
during filter cartridge replacement, simply place it back in
the groove prior to screwing the cup back in place. If
the o-ring becomes damaged, you will need to order one
from the
Consumer Assistance Center .
6. Discard old filter cartridge.
7. Remove new filter cartridge from packaging. Place in cup.
The end with the small o-ring should be up, out of the cup.
8. Screw cup, with filter, back onto housing. Do Not Use
Wrench To Reinstall Cup. Filter cartridge will self-align as
cup is tightened. Be sure cup is completely tightened with
PureSource™ logo facing outward. Do Not Tighten Past
Stop.
9. Set ice maker wire signal arm to the ON (down) position.
10. Check for leaks. Open refrigerator door. Wipe any water
droplets from the filter cup. Fill a glass with water. If there
is a leak, unscrew filter cup, and reinsert the filter
cartridge. Check placement of large O-ring. Reinstall
filter cup, making certain it is tightened completely.
11. To condition filter system and purge air from water line, fill
a glass with water. Continue flushing the system for
approximately 3 minutes to assure that the purest water
possible is stored in the water tank.
