IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

For use on 1/4" copper or plastic tubing.
1. Turn off your refrigerator's water source.
2. Locate an easily accessible section of tubing. Shut-off valve
(not included) must be on inlet side of filter. (Figure 1)
3. Cut and remove a 6" (15.24 cm) section of tubing making sure
ends are cut square. (Figure 2)
4. Apply one or two turns of PTFE tape to thread of push-in fitting.
Thread fittings into port of filter body. Tighten fittings snugly,
but do not overtighten. (Figure 3)

shown in quick connect guide. (Figure 4)
CAUTION
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to
water leakage:
• Ensure all tubing and fi ttings are secure and free of leaks;
• Do not install unit if collet is missing. Contact CUNO if collets
are missing from any fi ttings.

the filter into a bucket or pan for five minutes,
thereby removing fine particles of carbon
which may be present in the filter body. When
