Step by step

Find the filter: inside the top right corner, in the base grille, or behind a door in the back.
- Step 2
Turn it counterclockwise (or press the eject button) and pull it out over a towel.
- Step 3
Remove the cap from the new filter and push or twist it in until it locks.
- Step 4
Run 2–4 gallons through the dispenser to flush air and carbon fines.
- Step 5
Reset the filter light (usually by holding the filter or light button for 3 seconds).
