during the installation of this product. The disposable filter cartridge should be replaced every  
6 months at the rated capacity, or sooner if a noticeable reduction in flow rate occurs.

For the maximum benefit of your filtration system, GE recommends the use of GE-branded filters only. Using  

GE-branded filters in GE and Hotpoint

®

 refrigerators provides optimal performance and reliability. GE filters  

meet rigorous industry NSF standards for safety and quality that are important for products that are filtering your water. GE has not 

qualified non-GE-branded filters for use in GE and Hotpoint refrigerators and there is no assurance  

that non-GE-branded filters meet GE's standards for quality, performance and reliability.
If you have questions, or to order additional filter cartridges, visit our website at www.gewaterfilters.com  

or call GE Parts and Accessories, 800.626.2002.
Customers in Canada should consult the yellow pages for the nearest Camco Service Center.

The water filter cartridge is located in the back upper right corner of 

the refrigerator compartment. 

There is a replacement indicator light for the water filter cartridge 

on the dispenser. This light will turn orange to  

tell you that you need to replace the filter soon. 

The filter cartridge should be replaced when the replacement 

indicator light turns red or if the flow of water to the dispenser or 

icemaker decreases. 

The filter cartridge should be replaced every 

six months  

or earlier if the flow of water to the dispenser or  

icemaker decreases.

If you are replacing the cartridge, first remove the old one  

by slowly turning it to the left. 

Do not pull down on the cartridge. A 

small amount of water may drip down. 

CAUTION: To reduce the risk associated with property damage due 

to water leakage, read and follow instructions before installation 

and use of this system. Installation and use MUST comply with all 

state and local plumbing codes.

   Fill the replacement cartridge with water from the tap  

to allow for better flow from the dispenser immediately  

after installation.  

 

   Line up the arrow on the cartridge and the cartridge holder. Place 

the top of the new cartridge up inside the holder.  

Do not push it up into the holder.

   Slowly turn it to the right until the filter  

cartridge stops. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.  

As you turn the cartridge, it will  

automatically raise itself into position.  

The cartridge will move about a ½ turn. 

   Run water from the dispenser for 1-1/2 gallons (about three 

minutes) to clear the system and prevent sputtering.

   Press and hold the RESET WATER FILTER pad (on some models) on 

the dispenser for three seconds. 

NOTE: A newly installed water filter cartridge may cause water  
to spurt from the dispenser.

Filter bypass plug

ou must use the filter bypass plug when a replacement filter

operate without the filter or filter bypass plug.
