No magic, ask someone else to remove it following these instructions. Replacing the Water Filter To purchase a replacement water filter, model number UKF8001AXX-750 or UKF8001AXX-200, contact your dealer or call 1-800-253-1301 in the U.S.A. or 1-800-807-6777 in Canada. IMPORTANT: Air trapped in the water system may cause water and filter to eject. Always dispense water for at least 2 minutes before removing the filter or blue bypass cap. 1. To access the filter, press upward on the ribbed section of the water filter cover. 2. Turn filter counterclockwise to remove. 3. Remove sealing label from replacement filter and insert the filter end into the filter head. 4. Turn the filter clockwise until it stops. Snap the filter cover closed. 5. Flush the water system. See "Water and Ice Dispenser." NOTE: The dispenser feature may be used without a water filter installed. Your water will not be filtered. If this option is chosen, replace the filter with the blue bypass cap.
