The blade on the end of the water filter should be in the vertical position when it is fully installed. Do not over tighten. Note: Please ensure the filter is fully installed as it is required to activate the internal water valve. If the filter isn’t properly installed, you may experience a slow flow or a chattering noise. If this occurs, please uninstall and reinstall the filter ensuring the filter is fully installed.
- Close the cartridge cover
- Run approximately 2.5 gallons of water from the dispenser periodically to clear the system and to receive a good flow. If the water flow is slower than usual, please repeat Step 4. Note: Initial flow rate may be slower than expected. Full flow rate should be restored within 24-36 hours.
