Fisher & Paykel Water Filter Flushing Instructions for Refrigerators

IMPORTANT!

For detailed instructions on replacing the water filter of your refrigerator, go to fisherpaykel.com/water-filters.
To avoid serious illness or death, only connect your water filter to safe drinking water.
Replace your filter every 6 months to reduce risk of water leakage or flooding.
Filter replacement is the consumer's responsibility and is not covered by Manufacturer's Warranty except in the case of faulty parts or materials within the filter.

WARNING!

DO NOT use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
Your water filtration system can withstand up to 120psi (827kPa) of water pressure. Ensure the supplied pressure-reducing valve is installed before installing the water filtration system.
DO NOT install if water pressure exceeds 120psi (827kPa).
DO NOT install in areas where ambient temperatures may go above 100°F (38°C) or drop below 33°F (1°C).
DO NOT install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature of this filter system is 100°F (37.8°C).

Flushing the water filter

Before first use, you need to flush water out through the filter to remove impurities or trapped air in the water tank and filter system.

For Ice & Water only models: Flushing must be completed through both the water dispenser and ice maker.
For Automatic Ice only models: Flushing must be completed through the ice maker.

Flushing through water dispenser

Press the water dispenser pad to dispense 1 gal (4L) of water. A harmless carbon residue may be dispensed with water during the flushing process.
Wait 4 minutes before dispensing again.
Dispense 1 gal (4L) of water then wait another four minutes.
Dispense another 1 gal (4L) of water. Your water dispenser is ready for use.
Water will continue to drip from the dispenser for a few more days after installation to clear remaining trapped air in the dispenser. Check the drip tray regularly and empty when required.

Flushing through ice maker

Turn the ice maker on, refer to the user guide supplied with your appliance for details.
Press the [water drop symbol] and + together for 4 seconds then close the doors. The ice tray will flip twice and empty the water into the bin below. The ice tray will flip only after the doors are closed.
Repeat step 2 to remove dust in the ice tray collected during manufacture and transport.
Empty the water from the bin and return it correctly.
Once your ice maker is turned on, the first bin of ice may be discolored; this is not harmful and normal during the flushing process. Discard the first full bin of ice made. Your ice maker is ready for use.

The performance of your water filter will improve with continued use.

For Ice & Water only models, the water filter will reach optimum performance after two to three full bins of ice.
For Ice only models, the water filter will reach optimum performance after four to five full bins of ice.

Resetting the filter indicator (all models)

Use the water filter as soon as possible after installation. A replacement indicator on the control panel and/or external display illuminates when you need to replace the filter. Reset the indicator only after replacing the filter.

To reset indicator

Press the [filter icon] and + together for 4 seconds.
The [indicator light] on the control panel will turn off when reset.
The filter change indicator icon on the control panel and/or external display will turn off when reset.

IMPORTANT! We recommend the water filter is used from the time of installation. Do not reset indicator before filter is changed or filter monitoring will be inaccurate.
