Base Grille Water Filtration System
(_ Tested and certified by NSF International against ANSI/NSF
Standard 42 for the reduction of Chlorine Taste and Odor, Particulate
Class II*; and against ANSI/NSF Standard 53 for the reduction of Lead,
Mercury, Benzene, Toxaphene, p-dichlorobenzene, and Carbofuran.
This system has been tested according to ANSl/NSF 42/53 for the reduction of the substances listed below. The concentration of the
indicated substances in water entering the system was reduced to a concentration less than or equal to the permissible limit for water
leaving the system, as specified in ANSl/NSF 42/53.

It is essential that operational, maintenance, and filter
replacement requirements be carried out for the product to
perform as advertised.
Model WF-NL2ZK)V: Change cartridge at least every 6 months.
Use replacement cartridge NL240V, part #4396509. 2006
suggested retail price of $35.99 U.S.A./S59.95 Canada. Prices
are subject to change without notice.
Model WF-L400V: The filter monitor system measures the
amount of water that passes through the filter and alerts you to
replace the filter. When 90% of the filter's rated life is used, the
filter indicator light changes from green to yellow. When 100% of
the filter's rated life is used, the filter indicator light changes from
yellow to red, and it is recommended that you replace the filter.
Use replacement cartridge L400V, part #4396509. 2006
suggested retail price of $35.99 U.S.A./S59.95 Canada. Prices are
subject to change without notice.
