Water Filter Removal and
Installation
Replacing Water Filter
IMPORTANT: Air trapped in system may cause
water and cartridge to eject. Always dispense
water for at least 2 minutes before removing the
filter for any reason. Use caution when removing.
1. Turn filter counterclockwise until it releases from
filter head.
2. Drain water from filter into sink, and dispose in
normal household trash.
3. Wipe up excess water in filter cover and continue
with Initial Installation, steps 2 through 4.
The filter should be changed at least every 12 months.
IMPORTANT: Condition of water and amount used
determines life span of water filter cartridge. If water
use is high, or if water is of poor quality, replacement
may need to take place more often.
To purchase a replacement water filter cartridge,
contact your dealer or call 1-877-232-6771 U.S.A. or
1-800-688-8/408 Canada.
The dispenser feature may be used without a water
filter cartridge. If you choose this option, replace filter
with blue bypass cap.
