Installing the HAF-QIN Water Filter:
**Remove the Old Filter:
Locate the water filter housing inside your refrigerator.
Turn the old filter counterclockwise to release it.
Gently pull it out to remove.
Prepare the New Filter:
Unpack the new HAF-QIN filter.
Remove any protective caps from the filter.
Install the New Filter:
Align the new filter with the filter housing.
Insert the filter and turn it clockwise until it locks into place.
Ensure the filter is firmly seated and the alignment marks match.
Flush the Filter:
Dispense water through the dispenser for about 5 minutes (approximately 2.5 gallons) to remove any trapped air and impurities.
Resetting the Filter Indicator Light:
After replacing the filter, it's essential to reset the filter indicator light to maintain accurate tracking.
Locate the Reset Button:
On your refrigerator's control panel, find the button labeled "Filter Reset" or a similar term.
Reset the Indicator:
Press and hold the "Filter Reset" button for 3 seconds.
You should hear a chime, and the indicator light will change to blue or green, indicating a successful reset.
