Remove blue bypass cap and
retain for later use.

Remove sealing label from
end of filter and insert into

(approximately 2 minutes) through

I'm trying to dispense water to
flush the system. Where's the water?
During initial use, allow about a 1 to 2 minute delay in
water dispersal to allow internal water tank to fill.

filtration system?

If you choose this option, replace filter with blue bypass

Replacing Water Filter

releases from filter head.

Drain water from filter into sink or toilet,
and dispose in normal household garbage.

Wipe up excess water in filter cover and
continue with installation steps 2 and 3.
When do I change the water filter?
Select dispenser models feature a water filter change indicator.
For instructions on how to operate and reset this feature, refer
to the dispenser features section in your manual, or the LCD
dispenser booklet for LCD-style dispensers.
For units without indicator feature, filter should be changed
approximately every 6 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.
