Maintenance Tips

• Replace every 6 months or ~170–200 gallons to maintain clean water and strong flow.
• Twist-in firmly until it locks (“click”) to ensure proper sealing and prevent leaks or bypass flow.
• Flush 2–3 gallons of water after installation to clear air pockets, carbon dust, and ensure fresh taste.
• Check water flow regularly—slow dispensing or weak ice production means filter is nearing end of life.
• Reset filter indicator light after replacement to maintain accurate maintenance reminders.
• Keep refrigerator temperature stable to help prevent strain on filter and water line system.
• Avoid counterfeit or incompatible filters to prevent leaks, poor fit, or reduced filtration quality.
• Wipe filter housing area during changes to remove dust and moisture buildup.
• Install with clean hands and correct alignment to avoid cross-threading or seal damage.
• Replace immediately if taste, odor, or discoloration appears early even before 6 months in heavy use.
