WARNING
To reduce the risk associated with choking, do not allow children under 3 years of age
to have access to small parts during the installation of this product. The disposable filter cartridge should be
replaced every 6 months at the rated capacity, or sooner if a noticeable reduction in flow rate occurs.
For the maximum benefit of your filtration system, GE Appliances, a Haier company, recommends the use of
GE Appliances-branded filters only. Using GE Appliances-branded filters in Café refrigerators provides optimal
performance and reliability. Our filters meet rigorous industry NSF standards for safety and quality that are important
for products that are filtering your water. There is no assurance that brands other than GE Appliances filters meet
our standards for quality, performance and reliability.

cafeappliances.ca/service or consult the yellow pages for the nearest Camco Service Center.
Water Filter Cartridge
The water filter cartridge holder is located in the
back upper-right corner of the fresh food refrigerator
compartment.
Select models use radio frequency identification (RFID)
to detect leaks and monitor filter status. The RFID
technology is certified by the FCC.
When to Replace the Filter
If there is a replacement indicator light for the water filter
cartridge on the dispenser, a red light will start blinking to
tell you that you need to replace the filter soon. For
models that don’t have the indicator light, the filter
cartridge should be replaced every six months, or earlier
if the flow of water to the dispenser or icemaker
decreases.
Removing the Filter
If you are replacing the filter, first remove the previous
one by gently grasping the filter and slowly turning it to
the left, about a ¼ turn. The filter should automatically
release itself when you have rotated it far enough to the
left. A small amount of water may drip down.
CAUTION
If air has been trapped in the system,
the filter cartridge may be ejected as it is removed. Use
caution when removing.
Filter Bypass Plug
To reduce the risk of property damage due to water
leakage, you MUST use the filter bypass plug when a
replacement filter cartridge is not available. Some models
do not come equipped with the filter bypass plug. To
obtain a free bypass plug, visit us on-line at
cafeappliances.com/service. In Canada, visit
cafeappliances.ca/service. The dispenser and icemaker
will not operate without either the filter or the bypass plug
installed. The bypass plug is installed in the same way as

Installing the Filter Cartridge in a Side by

1. Line up the arrow on the filter with the
arrow on the filter cartridge holder.
Gently push the top of the new filter up
inside the holder.
2. Slowly turn the filter to the right until it
stops. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. As you
turn the filter, it will automatically raise

gallons (7.6 liters) or approximately 5 minutes to clear
the system. Water may spurt out and air bubbles may
be visible during this process.
4. Press and hold the RESET WATER FILTER button on
the dispenser for 3 seconds. On select models, filter
reset will be automatic when a new filter is installed.
