5. Connect a stem elbow fitting to the IN port of the filter kit assembly by
pushing the stem elbow fitting into the previously attached adapter. Push
firmly until the connection is secure. Secure LLDPE tubing to the stem
elbow fitting in the same fashion and connect it to the local water supply.
6. You may wish to install a shut-off valve between the water source and
the Omnipure KQ8A water filter. To do this, cut some LLDPE tubing to
the needed size and connect it by pushing the tubing into the shut-off
valve until secure.
7. Connect a long length of tubing to the OUT port of the filter kit
assembly. Do not connect the coffee maker yet.
NOTE: The Omnipure KQ8A Water Filter needs an initial flush to clear any
carbon deposit.
8. Place the open end of the long length of tubing in a container or sink.
9. Turn on water supply and allow at least four gallons of water to flush
through the filter. Turn off water supply.
10. Cut the tubing to the length needed and connect a stem elbow fitting
to the cut end of tubing. Thread the ¾" female garden hose connector
onto the coffee maker inlet valve located at the lower rear of the
coffee maker. Push the stem elbow fitting into the connector until
secured firmly. Then, turn on the water supply.
NOTE: Water and waste piping and connections must comply with the
latest code from the International Code Council (ICC) or International
Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO).
