Additional Maintenance: Inlet Water Valve Screen

The inlet water valve has a screen on its inlet side
to keep debris from flowing into the valve. In some
cases, this screen may become clogged or
restricted by debris build up. Check for the proper
water flow:
Flow rate is 1.25 G.P.M.
1. Remove front panel.
2. Obtain a 16 ounce cup and a watch.
3. Pull the water discharge tube out of the
reservoir and place it in the cup.
4. Push and release the Harvest button.
5. If working properly, the water valve will fill an 16
oz cup in about 10 seconds. Be prepared to push
the Off button! If it does not, the water valve inlet
or other water device is restricted.
