Thewaterfilterindicatorlight
The water filter indicator light will help you know when to
change your water filter cartridge. The light is located at
the inside top of the refrigerator compartment. The light will
change from green to yellow. This tells you that it is almost
time to change the water filter cartridge (90% of the filter
life has been used). It is recommended that you replace
the water filter cartridge when the water filter indicator
light changes to red OR water flow to your water dis-
penser or ice maker decreases noticeably. (See
"Changing a water filter cartridge" later in this section.)
NOTE: Do not use with water that is microbiological]y
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before or after the system.
