CAUTION:
Never
remove
the sump
with
water
pressure
in the filter.
1. Close the nearest
shutoff valve on the water supply to
the filter. To relieve pressure
in the filter, open the fil-
tered water faucet.
2. Turn the sump off of the filter head, to the left. Be
careful, as the sump is full of water.
Do not lose the
large o-ring seal.
NOTE: A special wrench
is included
for removing
the
sump.
See the parts list on page 10. Use only the
included
wrench
on the sump (or loosen and tighten the
sump by hand).
3. if replacing
the filter cartridge,
remove used cartridge
from sump and use warm, soapy water to clean sump.
4. Remove the wrapper
from the new filter cartridge
and, with clean or gloved hands,
insert the filter car-
tridge into the sump.
Some cartridges
fit turned
either
way, while others fit only one way: Check the car-
tridge to see if orientation
is indicated.
5. When changing
filter, lightly lubricate
the o-ring seal
in the sump with silicone grease.
Be sure the o-ring is
fully seated in the groove.
6. Hold the sump up to the filter head, and align the cen-
ter hole in the cartridge
with the protrusion
on the
bottom
of the head.
NOTE: if the sump will not tighten up to the head by
hand, you may have the cartridge
in upside
down or
misaligned.
Take the cartridge
out and check for correct
orientation.
7. Being careful not to overtighten
or cross-thread,
turn
the sump to the right onto the filter head and tighten
securely by hand.
Make sure to check for leaks, as
described
below.
8. Open the filtered water faucet.
Slowly open the water
supply
shutoff valve and allow the filter housing
to
fill. Close the filtered water faucet.

Check periodi-
cally for the next 24 hours.
NOTE: If a leak occurs, turn off the water supply and
open the filtered water faucet to depressurize
the filter.
Disassemble
the filter and check the o-ring and sealing
surface for cuts, flat spots, or foreign material.
Clean the
o-ring and lubricate
with silicone grease.
Carefully
press
o-ring into the groove in the sump.
10. if using a Taste and Odor Cartridge:
A taste and
odor cartridge
contains activated
carbon, a black
powder.
After the new cartridge
is installed,
open
the filtered water faucet and allow carbon particles
to
purge from the cartridge.
Close the faucet when you
no longer see "fines" (discoloration)
in the filtered
water, or after approximately
2 - 3 minutes.
