5. Determine which side of the sink
you want your System:
to position system to the leFt side
of your sink: Orient the Lid Assembly to
Filter Housing as shown.
(fig. N, Step 1)
Once positioned, thread Lid Assembly
clockwise onto the Filter Housing until
tightened.
(fig. N, Step 2)
to position system to the rIGHt side
of your sink: Orient the Lid Assembly to
Filter Housing as shown.
(fig. O, Step 1)
Once positioned, thread Lid Assembly
clockwise onto the Filter Housing until
tightened.
(fig. O, Step 2)
6. Remove the Battery Shuttle from Lid
Assembly and replace your existing Battery with the
NEW Battery included with your Filter Cartridge, then
re-insert Battery Shuttle into Lid Assembly.
The Intelligent Monitor ™ will flash gREEN, yELLOW
and RED five times. This resets the rated capacity
counter to zero gallons. Do not remove Battery
shuttle until it is time to replace the Filter Cartridge
again. removing Battery shuttle prematurely may
result in a loss of data.
7. Position the System so that water will flow into
kitchen sink. Turn the cold water faucet "ON" and
pull the Diverter Pin. Water will begin to fill the
(fig. Q)
Filter Housing. Once water begins to flow from the
System, the Intelligent Monitor ™ will begin flashing
gREEN to indicate peak operational performance.
8. Allow System to flush into sink for 15 minutes.
This removes any fine, black carbon particles left
over from the manufacturing process, expel trapped
air and condition the Cartridge for normal use.
(This water may be used to water plants.)
Important
Repeat flushing procedure each time a new Cartridge is installed.

Q
CondItIon
White sediment is in my filtered water.
reason
spout
There is a presence of calcium carbonate in
facing
into sink
your main water supply. This condition will
occur any time the filtered water is boiled
or frozen and then melts.
solUtIon
This condition is normal – no action is
required. However, you may choose to
strain the white sediment.
CondItIon
ice cubes appear cloudy in the center.
reason
Minerals such as calcium and magnesium
that are present in your water supply
collect in the center of ice cubes when
the water is frozen.
solUtIon
No action is required. Your System is
specifically designed to leave beneficial
trace minerals in your water.
CondItIon
The yELLOW Lamp on the Intelligent
Monitor ™ is flashing.
reason
Your Filter Cartridge is reaching the end
of its rated capacity and will need to be
replaced soon.
solUtIon
Purchase a new, NSF certified WaterChef
CR70 Filter Cartridge. For the location of
the reseller nearest you, call WaterChef
Customer Care at 1.800.879.8909 (int'l
+1.775.359.9500). Once the RED Lamp
begins flashing, it's time to install a new
CR70 Cartridge and Battery (included).

CondItIon
Diverter Pin is sluggish or does not fully
return to the "off" position after being
in service for a while.
reason #1
There could be a lack of lubricant on the
shaft of the Diverter Valve.
solUtIon #1
Remove the Diverter Valve from the kitchen
faucet. Press petroleum jelly into opening
on the Diverter Valve. Work the Diverter Pin
in and out until a smooth motion is restored.
reason #2
Hard water (water with high content of
dissolved minerals) has caused a buildup
in the Diverter Valve.
solUtIon #2
Soak Diverter Valve in vinegar for several
hours to remove buildup. Then rinse
Diverter Valve with warm water. Press
petroleum jelly into opening on the Diverter
Valve and work the Diverter Pin in and out
until a smooth action is restored. Replace
rubber washer and reconnect the Diverter
Valve to the kitchen faucet.
CondItIon
Filtered water is flowing slowly from
the system.
reason
Excessive amounts of particles in the water
supply may cause premature plugging of
Filter Cartridge. This condition may occur
before the RED Lamp begins to flash.
®
solUtIon
Filter Cartridge must be replaced due to
poor water quality conditions in your area.
note: Battery MUST be replaced at time
of Cartridge replacement. (CR70 Filter
Cartridge includes a new Battery.)
