All the water to your fridge is filtered to remove impurities through a cartridge located in a
position of your choice outside the refrigerator. This will need changing approximately every
6 months.
■ ■
There is a replacement indicator icon on the control panel which will appear when the filter
needs replacing. It will flash, as a reminder, when water is dispensed.
■ ■
Replacement cartridges are available from your authorized Fisher & Paykel Dealer. The details of
the replacement cartridge are on the label on the cartridge.
Changing the water filter cartridge
It is not necessary to turn off the water supply before attempting to change the water filter
cartridge.
1 Grasp and firmly twist the cartridge in an anticlockwise direction (to the left when installed in
the recommended orientation) as shown in Diagram 1.
2 Pull the cartridge away from the filter head (down when installed in the recommended
orientation) as shown in Diagram 2.
– It is not unusual for a few drops of water to be present when the filter is removed.
3 Discard old filter.
4 Filter installation:
– Remove protective cap on spigot on head.
– Push the cartridge up towards filter head while rotating it in a clockwise direction (to the
right when installed in the recommended orientation) as shown in Diagram 3.
5 Reset filter indicator icon on the display (this will remind you when the filter is due to be
replaced again). Refer to page 23.
6 Dispense 10 qt (10 L) to flush the cartridge, removing trapped air and harmless carbon fines.
7 A few drips may appear out of the dispenser over the next few days as the remaining trapped
air is cleared.
