INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Note: To install this filter, push filter firmly into receiver and then turn clockwise until the filter stops. Ensure filter is locked into place. If the filter is not locked into place and clocked correctly the water will not flow. Flush 3-4 gallons of water through the water dispenser to ensure air has been purged from the system. Some noise is not uncommon as the air is purged during the flush.
- Twist the old filter a quarter-turn counterclockwise.
- Pull the filter straight down and discard (don’t worry, the water will shut off automatically).
- Push the new filter up into the fridge until it stops. Filter may require additional effort/pressure to attach to receiver.
- Twist the filter a quarter-turn clockwise.
- Reset your ‘change filter’ light. Press and hold the reset button for 3 seconds.
- Flush filter with water until water runs clear from dispenser.
- Write the date of installation on the filter and mark your calendar to replace with another filter in 6 months. Please visit www.Tier1Filters.com to order your filter.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Why is my old water filter hard to get out?
A: The O-ring seals have sealed tightly to the receiver or the receiver
has warped with heat and age. This usually occurs in filters left in service
too long. Every seal in a Tier1® filter is pre-lubricated to aid in
installation.
Q: Why are there black specks in the water or why does my water taste
funny?
A: Water filters are made from the purest carbon blocks. When the filter
ships it bounces around and knocks carbon granules loose from the block. These
little carbon granules are called fines. All of the quality filters in the
market place require a preliminary flushing to remove the carbon fines. Some
systems may need to be flushed more than once. This is especially true if you
have scale or lime water. If you go on vacation and do not use your filtered
water for several days, flush the systems again to remove any stagnant water.
Q: If I do not change my filter every 6 months, can this damage the
system?
A: Yes, you must replace the filter every six months or whenever the
filter light comes on (whichever comes first), or sooner if water flow to
dispenser or icemaker is reduced or if there is heavy sediment/rust present.
Filters left in longer will fatigue and burst causing water damage. We
recommend a water hammer arrester be installed in any home that uses a
refrigerator water filter
