GENERAL USE

CONDITIONS
Read this Performance Data Sheet and
compare the capabilities of this unit with
your actual water treatment needs.
DO NOT use this product where water
is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before or after the
system. System certified for cyst
reduction may be used on disinfected
water that may contain filterable cysts.
Use only with cold water supply.
Check for compliance with the state
and local laws and regulations.
The Amana Clean 'n Clear™ retractable
®
water filtration system uses a WF50
replacement cartridge. Timely replace-
ment of filter cartridge is essential for
performance satisfaction from this filtra-
tion system. Please refer to the applica-
ble section in this owner's manual for
general operation, maintenance require-
ments and troubleshooting.
This system has been tested according to
ANSI/NSF 42 and 53 for reduction of the
substances listed below. The concentra-
tion of the indicated substances in water
entering the system was reduced to a
concentration less than or equal to the
permissible limit for water leaving the sys-
tem, as specified in ANSI/NSF 42 and 53.
