What is the benefit of having a water filter in my fridge?
The 4396508 Filter removes the following impurities from your drinking water:
- 99% of Lead, 91-96% of Mercury, 96% of Benzene, more than 99% of P-Dichlorobenzene, 92% of insecticides, 99% of Chlorine and 95% of rust, dirt, sand and sediment (1 to 5 microns in size). For a comprehensive list of contaminants and related terminology, click here.
- The 4396508 does NOT remove Fluoride.
-
Overall, it provides better tasting and smelling water with
improved clarity.
Changing the filter regularly in your ice/water refrigerator also reduces the build-up of scale in your ice-making mechanism thereby reducing the need for costly services.
The 4396508 cartridge is tested and certified by NSF International to meet or exceed NSF/ANSI Standards 42 & 53.
How do I install my new filter?
Installing your new water filter:
- Remove the filter by turning anti-clockwise about a quarter of a turn and pulling forward.
- The filter handle is transferred to the new filter, by sliding off, and is refitted by inserting with the handle in the vertical position and rotating clockwise until it stops.
- The filter must be rotated completely, to open an internal valve, allowing water to flow. Note: you do not need to turn off the water tap to remove the filter.
- Reset your "change filter" light (if your fridge has one).
Resetting your "change filter" light:
Press the light switch (the one that the refrigerator door presses every time you close the door) 5 times within 10 seconds.
OR
If the fridge has a filter button, press and hold it for 5-10 seconds.
