Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Turn off the water supply to the refrigerator if possible, or ensure the shut-off valve is closed.
- Locate the filter housing, typically inside the refrigerator compartment (often at the top right or bottom right).
- Grasp the old filter and turn it counter-clockwise about a quarter turn to unlock it.
- Pull the old filter straight out.
- Remove the protective cap from the new filter.
- Insert the new filter into the housing, aligning the grooves.
- Turn the new filter clockwise about a quarter turn until it locks into place.
- Turn the water supply back on.
- Flush the system by dispensing and discarding approximately 2-3 gallons of water to remove any air or loose carbon particles.
