Changing the water filter

If you purchased a refrigerator with a water filter (ice and water
models), please read the following care and use information.
An external water filter and connection kit has been supplied for
use with your ice & water refrigerator.
The external filter design allows more space within the refrigerator
and provides double the life of previous filters reducing the cost of
replacement. The filter is designed to significantly reduce chlorine,
taste, odour, heavy metals, turbidity ( cloudiness) and scale
build up. The included plastic (LLDPE) water tube allows quick
connection to the filter and is designed for high durability and kink
resistance.
This filter is designed only to be used with a potable water supply.
It should not be used on water that is micro biologically unsafe or
with water of unknown quality. The filter should be replaced every
12 months. The service life of the filter may be reduced in water
supplies that contain an excess of particles or other impurities.
Reduced flow rate is an indication that a new filter is required.
Failure to replace the filter when required can affect the function of
the ice maker. Service calls caused by a failure to replace the filter
are not covered by warranty (see page 20).
When to change the filter
Water conditions vary throughout the world, but changing the
water filter every 12 months will ensure the highest possible water
quality. The electronics in your refrigerator will track the amount
of water usage and advise on when the filter should be replaced.
If the filter has not been in use for a while (because of a move for
example), change the filter before you reinstall the refrigerator.
Replacement filters can be purchased from the nearest Service
Centre (see page 20 for contact details). The filter change interval
can be reset by pressing the clock button.
Changing the filter
Turn off water supply at the tap. Ensure that the ice maker switch
is in the "O" (OFF) position.
To change the filter:
1. Turn off the water supply.
2. Release the pressure in the water lines by holding
a container against the water dispenser paddle on
the refrigerator until the pressure has been released.
3. Turn off the refrigerator at the power point and remove the plug
from the socket.
4. Depress the collet (see illustration below) and pull the tube out
of each end of the filter.
5. Refit the tubes into the new filter to the stops (about 15mm).
Ensure that you observe the flow direction.
Write the fitment date in the space provided on the filter.
6. Gently pull back on the tube to ensure that it is secure.
7. Turn the water supply back on and check for leaks.
8. Plug the unit back in and turn the power supply back
on to the refrigerator.
9. Purge and dispose of approximately 5 litres of water through
the water dispenser to condition the filter and clear the
water lines of air and impurities. It may take up to a minute
to get a full flow of water from the dispenser. Do not be
alarmed if there is an initial black colour to the water.
This is residual carbon dust from the filter and is non-toxic.
10. Once the lines have been purged, dispose of the first few
batches of ice to ensure that impurities have been flushed from
this part of the system.
