- Restore Water Supply: Turn the water supply back on to the refrigerator.
- Flush System: Flush the water system by dispensing approximately 2-3 gallons of water through the refrigerator's dispenser. This removes trapped air and any carbon fines from the new filter.
- Reset Indicator: Reset the filter indicator light on your refrigerator. Refer to your refrigerator's user manual for specific instructions on how to reset the filter indicator.
