CAUTION: To avoid the danger of an electric shock hazard, disconnect the power to your unit before replacing the filter. Turn off the water supply and dispense water to relieve pressure.
Turn the used filter counterclockwise 1/4 turn to remove it from the filter head.
Remove the cap from the new filter and use it to seal the used filter.
