Installation instructions
Before installation:
- Shut off the cold-water supply to the refrigerator before installation. Turn on the refrigerator water dispenser to release water pressure, letting water drain from the pipe completely.
- It is normal for black carbon fines (particles) to appear on the outside of your filter. This happens when the filter is jarred in shipping. It is safe to simply wipe it off.
- The filter connectors are larger to prevent leaks. You might have to twist the filter hard to make sure the connection is secure.
-
Push button on the filter housing to open it.
-
Gently pull out the old filter from the housing.
-
Remove the package and end-cap of the new filter.
-
Insert the new filter into the housing until it stops and push up on the filter to lock in place.
Note: If the new filter is hard to rotate, please insert the filter a little bit towards the filter housing. -
Close the filter housing lid until it locks into place.
-
Dispense water for a few minutes to remove carbon fines and trapped air from the system.
Note: Initial water flow may be slower than expected. Full water flow will be restored within 24-36 hours. -
Check filter one more time for any leaks.
Storage and maintenance
- Replace your filter every 6 months or 200 gallons to prevent bacteria and fungus growth in your filter, supply lines, and storage tank.
- Keep your unused filters in a cool, dark, and dry place until you need them.
- If you do not use your water dispenser for more than four days, run two gallons of water before using it to prevent bad tasting water.
Frequently asked questions
Q: Why is it difficult to twist the new filter into the filter housing?
A: The connector may expand because of water pressure. Therefore, it is recommended you push the new filter in with a little bit of force, but not too hard. Then turn it clockwise.
Q: Do I need to flush the filter after installation?
A: After installation, it is highly recommended you run water for a few minutes before using. Water filters are made from advanced coconut carbon block, so there are some carbon fines in the filter. Flushing removes the carbon fines to produce clean water.
Q: Must the filter be changed every 6 months?
A: Yes, you must replace the filter every six months or sooner if water flow is reduced or if there is heavy sediment / must present. Over-used filters will degrade the filtration performance.
