To dispense water:
1. Press a glass against the water dispenser lever. 2. Remove the glass to stop dispensing. NOTE: Dispense enough water every week to maintain a fresh supply.

After changing the water filter cartridge, reset the water filter status light by pressing the light switch 5 times within 10 seconds. The status light will change from red to green when the system is reset.

Non-indicator water filter (on some models)
If your refrigerator does not have the water filter status light, you should change the water filter cartridge every 6 to 9 months depending upon your usage. If the water flow to the water dispenser or ice maker decreases noticeably before 6 months have passed, replace the water filter cartridge more often.
