Safety Information

Always follow basic safety precautions when installing or replacing appliance parts. Disconnect power to the refrigerator if necessary and turn off the water supply before beginning installation. Ensure hands are clean to prevent contamination of the filter.

Setup and Installation

The Blomberg 4874960100 Water Filter is designed for easy replacement in compatible Beko built-in refrigerator models. Refer to your refrigerator's specific manual for the exact location of the filter housing.

1. Turn off Water Supply: Locate the water shut-off valve for your refrigerator and turn it off. This prevents water leakage during filter replacement.
2. Remove Old Filter: Depending on your refrigerator model, twist the old filter counter-clockwise or press a release button to remove it. Be prepared for a small amount of water to drip out.
3. Prepare New Filter: Remove the new Blomberg 4874960100 filter from its packaging. Remove any protective caps from the O-rings.
4. Install New Filter: Insert the new filter into the housing. Twist it clockwise until it locks securely into place. Ensure a snug fit to prevent leaks.
5. Restore Water Supply: Turn the water shut-off valve back on.
6. Check for Leaks: Visually inspect the filter area for any signs of water leakage.
7. Flush the System: Dispense approximately 2-3 gallons of water through the dispenser to flush out air and any carbon fines from the new filter. This may take several minutes. The water may appear cloudy or discolored initially; this is normal. Continue flushing until the water runs clear.

Operating Instructions

Once installed and flushed, the water filter operates automatically, providing filtered water and ice. The refrigerator's indicator light will typically signal when it's time to replace the filter, usually every 6 months or after filtering a certain volume of water (e.g., 300 gallons), whichever comes first. Refer to your refrigerator's manual for specific filter life indicators and reset procedures.

Maintenance

The primary maintenance for your water filter is timely replacement. Regular replacement ensures continued access to clean, filtered water and helps maintain the efficiency of your refrigerator's water dispensing system.

• Filter Replacement: Replace the filter every 6 months or as indicated by your refrigerator's filter change light, or if water flow significantly decreases.
• Clean Filter Area: Periodically wipe down the area around the filter housing to keep it clean and free of dust or debris.

Troubleshooting

• Slow Water Flow: If water flow is slow after installation, ensure the filter is fully seated and locked. Flush the system again to remove any trapped air. If the filter is old, it may be clogged and require replacement.
• Water Leakage: Check that the filter is correctly installed and twisted firmly into place. Ensure the O-rings are not damaged or pinched. Turn off the water supply, remove the filter, inspect, and reinstall.
• Bad Taste/Odor in Water: This indicates the filter may be expired or not functioning correctly. Flush the system thoroughly. If the issue persists, replace the filter.
• Filter Not Fitting: Verify that you have the correct model number (4874960100) for your refrigerator. Refer to your refrigerator's manual for compatible filter types.
