The Water Filter in your Sharp Refrigerator should be replaced every 6 months, or if there is a noticeable reduction in water pressure when using the dispenser.

Repeat dispensing water into the pitcher until at least one gallon is dispensed. Making sure to pour out the first gallon of water dispensed.
