Replace water filter in 4 steps

To replace your water filter, follow the steps below. You have to do this every 6 months.

Step 1. Shut off the water supply
Step 2. Remove the old water filter
Step 3. Insert the new water filter
Step 4. Make sure that clean water comes out of the filter

Step 1: turn off the water supply

First, put a towel or a bowl under the old filter. This way, you can collect water that may leak. After that, turn off the water supply to the fridge.

Step 2: remove the old water filter

Remove the filter from the filter holder. To remove the water hose, loosen the clips. You should keep the filter horizontal to prevent it from leaking.

Step 3: place the new water filter

Remove the clips from the new water filter you want to install. The arrows on the filter indicate the flow direction of the water. Connect the water hose on the side that the arrow points from. Connect the water hose attached to the fridge on the side where the arrow points to. Push the water hose into the filter about 1cm on both sides and secure the filter with the clips.

Step 4: make sure that clean water comes out of the filter

Open the water supply again. The water that now comes out of the filter is cloudy. Let about 3L water flow through the filter until the water is clear again. Your water filter is ready to tap ice-cold glasses for you again.
