Steps

- Insert the new water filter, or the cap that replaces the filter, all the way into the filter opening, turn it 90 degrees clockwise all the way and fold it up to the right.
- Move the filter cover up to the right and slide it back all the way.
- Discard the ice cubes produced during the first 24 hours, and dispense water for 5 minutes and discard it.
- Press and hold change fliter for 3 seconds to switch the notification off and reset the filter change status.
A bypass cap can replace the filter permanently if no filter is wanted or an external filter system is installed. The water system works only with a filter or a bypass cap installed.
