The water "Filter Indicator" light
• "Filter Indicator" light lets you know when it is time to change your water filter cartridge. The light

• Ifyou install water filter, throw away the first six glassfulls of water filter, or until water flows clearly to
flush impurities in the water supply system.
Using the dispenser without the water filter
