OVERVIEW OF A COMPLETED SETUP

Warning
To reduce the risk associated with choking: Do not allow children under 3 years of age to have access to small parts during the installation of this product.

Warning
To reduce the risk associated with ingestion of contaminants, do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before the system.

Warning
To reduce the risk associated with hazardous voltage do not install near electric wiring or piping which may be in path of a drilling tool when selecting the position to mount the system bracket.

NOTICE
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage or flooding, and to ensure optimal filter performance:

Replace filter cartridge every 6 months, or sooner if water flow rate slows.
Failure to replace the disposable filter cartridge at recommended intervals may lead to reduced filter performance and cracks in the filter housing, causing water leakage or flooding.
For systems using two handle HC model faucets, operate only one handle at a time.

Turn off water supply before starting.
Installation must comply with all state and local laws and regulations

INSTALLING FILTRATION SYSTEM

Warning
Personal Injury: Do not locate filter above an outlet or other electrical device. Install head and bracket so that connections require no stretching, kinking or pinching of tubing.

Screws provided are for use in wood studs or cabinets only. Use wall anchors (not supplied) for installation into drywall.

Separate cartridge from filter head. Mark hole locations for filter head and bracket in a spot that allows for filter replacement.
Drill 1/8″ starter holes and attach bracket to wall with wood screws, turning until snug.
Insert cartridge into filter head. Top surface of cartridge will become flush with bottom of filter head when fully engaged

NOTICE
Property Damage: Tube runs need to form to the cabinet’s contours to allow storage space with no sharp bends. Tubes need clean, perpendicular, burr-free cuts to ensure a true fit.

Determine length of tubing required, then cut to length making sure the cut is perpendicular and burr-free.
Insert a 1/4″ tube into inlet side of filter head until it stops. Press in again to ensure a secure fit.
Insert the other 1/4″ tube into outlet side of filter head until it stops. Press in again to ensure a secure fit.

NOTICE
Property Damage: Do not extend the lines farther than the 16″ provided. Ensure tube(s) and “Y” connnector are securely fit

Insert the copper tubes(s) from the dispenser into “Y” quick-connector using the plug for hot-only models.
Connect the 1/4″ tube from the right outlet on the filter head into the quickconnect fitting until it stops. Press in again to ensure a secure fit.

To remove tube(s) or plug from quick-connector, depress the release ring and gently pull away

It is normal for approximately 2 oz. of water to discharge when filter is removed.

Connect remaining 1/4″ tube to incoming water supply line.

FINAL WATER CONNECTION

NOTICE
Property Damage: Join remaining tube to cold water supply only

Install a T-fitting (not included) onto the cold water supply line.
Install dedicated water control valve with 1/4″ compression fitting.
At the end of the 1/4″ tube from the filter or quick-connector, slide the supplied brass nut and ferrule over the tube and then push in the brass tube insert.
Insert the 1/4″ tube into the 1/4″ compression fitting and tighten.

TURN ON WATER & CONNECT POWER

Warning
Scalding Hazard: The faucet dispenses near-boiling (212ºF) water which can instantly cause scalds or burns. Use care when operating this appliance.

Turn on the water supply.
Depress the dispenser’s HOT handle and hold it until water flows from the spout (approximately 1 to 2 minutes).
Flush 3 gallons (11.4 L) through filter before first use (approximately 4 minutes).
Check all connections to ensure they are tight and that there are no leaks.

REPLACE FILTER EVERY 6 MONTHS

Add the next replacement date to your calendar (6 months from today) and write it on the enclosed sticker and attach filter label sticker to cabinet door or another convenient location for reference.
