Flow Control - Kenmore 625.381560 UltraFilter 450 Owner's Manual

FLOW CONTROL
The flow control is vital for proper operation of the
Reverse Osmosis membrane cartridge. See Figure 26. The
flow control, located inside the push-in elbow fitting on
the drain port of the system housing, keeps water flowing
through the membrane at the required rate. This is to
ensure the system produces the best quality product
water.
Periodically check the flow control to be sure the small
hole through it is clean and unrestricted.
If the flow control requires service, review the exploded
view in Figure 26. Assemble and disassemble as shown. If
the flow control remains in the manifold when the push-in
elbow fitting is removed, you will need to remove the
drain port's collet and o-ring, as shown in the next section.
CHANGE COLLET AND O-RING
1. Remove the collet and o-ring from the fitting with a
small screwdriver. Be careful not to scratch the internal
walls of the collet port. See Figures 27 & 28.
2. Clean collet port, lubricate and insert the o-ring seal
into the bottom of the port. See Figures 27 & 28.
3. Push the collet inward until it locks in place. See Figures
27 & 28.
CHANGE BATTERY
To change battery, complete the following steps.
1. Loosen the screw on the right side of the faucet base.
See Figure 29.
2. Press the battery housing upwards from the front faucet
base until it releases from the faucet base. See Figure
29.
3. Replace the battery (Maxell CR 2032 or equivalent).
Place battery into the holder with the positive (+) side
facing the back of the holder.
4. When the battery is first replaced it will flash six times
and turn off. This indicates the battery is fully charged.
After the six flashes the timer enters the 6 month time
cycle. If it repeatedly flashes just two times, it is not a
fully charged battery.
5. Re-install the battery housing and firmly tighten the
mounting screw. See Figure 29.
