Installation and replacement procedure for the Budget Filters BF 3G fridge water filter:

• Slowly turn the old cartridge 1/4 turn to the left (counterclockwise).
• Pull the filter straight down and discard (the water will shut off automatically).
• Remove the protective red cap from the new filter.
• Push the new filter up into the filter cover until the filter stops.
• Turn the filter 1/4 turn to the right (clockwise) to lock it into place. You will feel a stop and the locked symbol should now be lined up with the indicator line above. Do not over tighten.
• Run water through the dispenser for 3 minutes to purge the system.
• Check the filter area for leaks.
• Reset the "Filter Indicator" light by pressing and holding the Ice Type and the Child Lock (or Moisture Control) buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds (the light should turn green). Note: If you hold these buttons for more than 5 seconds, you'll cancel the reset process. If this happens, just release the buttons and start over.

When to change a filter: There is a replacement indicator light for the water filter cartridge on the digital panel. This light will turn orange to tell you that you need to replace the filter soon. The filter cartridge should be replaced when the replacement indicator light turns red, or every 6 months, or if you notice a decrease in flow of water.

Important: It is essential that operation, maintenance and filter replacement be carried out in accordance with manufacture's recommended procedures and guidelines for this product to perform as advertised. Failure to do so may void warranty.
