Lower or remove the
y
top left shelf to allow the
water filter to rotate all
the way down.
Press the push button

to open the water filter
cover.
NOTE: Replacing the water filter causes a small
amount of water (around 1 oz. or 25 cc) to drain.
Place a cup under the front end of the water
filter cover to collect any leaking water. Hold the
water filter upright, once it is removed, to prevent
any remaining water from spilling out
of the water filter.

filter downward and
pull out. Make sure to
rotate the filter down
completely before pulling
it out of the manifold
hole.

o-rings. With
water filter tabs
in the horizontal
position, push
the new water
filter into the
manifold hole
until it stops.
Rotate the water filter up
y
into position and close
the cover. The cover
will click when closed
correctly.

After the water filter is replaced,
dispense 2.5 gallons of water (flush for
approximately 5 minutes) to remove
trapped air and contaminates from the
system. Do not dispense the entire 2.5
gallon amount continuously. Depress and
release the dispenser pad for cycles of 30
