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 or
blue bypass cap 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 and 3.
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.

contact your dealer or call 1-877-232-6771 USA or

The dispenser feature may be used without a water
