40 MAINTENANCE
1
Remove the old water filter.
Lower or remove
the top left shelf to
allow the water filter
to rotate all the way
down.
Press the push button
to open the water
filter cover.
NOTE: Replacing the water filter causes a small
amount of water (around 1 oz. or 25 cc) to drain.
Place a cup under the front end of the water
filter cover to collect any leaking water. Hold the
water filter upright, once it is removed, to prevent
any remaining water from spilling out
of the water filter.
Pull the water filter
downward and pull
out. Make sure to
rotate the filter down
completely before
pulling it out of the
manifold hole.
2
Replace with a new water filter.
Take the new water filter out of its packing
and remove the protective cover from the
o-rings. With
the water
filter tabs in
the horizontal
position, push
the new water
filter into the
manifold hole
until it stops.
Rotate the water filter up
into position and close
the cover. The cover
will click when closed
correctly.
3
After the water filter is replaced,
dispense 2.5 gallons of water (flush for
approximately 5 minutes) to remove
trapped air and contaminants from the
system. Do not dispense the entire 2.5
gallon amount continuously. Depress and
release the dispenser pad for cycles of 30
seconds ON and 60 seconds OFF.
