How to install the UKF8001 filter

The water filter cartridge is typically located in the back upper right corner of the refrigerator compartment. Release filter cover either by pushing button or pulling forward (depending on type of cover). The filter cover will hang down at an angle. The filter cartridge should be replaced when water change indicator says it's time to replace the filter or if the flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker decreases. For refrigerators without a filter change indicator, replace the filters every 6 months.

  1. Remove old filter cartridge by grasping and gently turning counterclockwise until it releases from the filter head
  2. Insert new filter into filter head and rotate clockwise until the filter stops.  Close the filter cover
  3. Run water continuously through dispenser for 4 gallons (approximately 5 minutes) until water runs steady and sputtering stops.  NOTE: during initial use allow about a 1-2 minute delay in water dispersal to allow internal water tank to fill
  4. Reset water filter change notification by following instructions in owners manual
