INSTALLATION STEPS

Before starting your installation, verify that you have the following included pieces.
a. 1 Pinned Torx Bit
b. 1 Pinned Torx Screw
Find a location to mount your new filter box near the water dispenser to which it is being connected. For accurate monitoring, the filter box should be mounted vertically as shown (Fig. 2, page 2).
Shut off the water and electricity to the water dispenser.
Remove the front cover by lifting the cover at the bottom and slide upwards toward the top.
Take the filter box and place on the wall in the desired location. Making sure that it is level, take a pencil and mark around the inside opening and the mounting locations. If the water will not be coming thru the wall into the back of the filter box, knock-outs have been provided to allow the water lines to run thru the sides or bottom. NOTE : If running the water lines thru the knockouts, use the appropriate protection (not provided) to keep the lines from getting cut.
Cut a hole in the wall anywhere inside the marked location to allow room for the water lines to come into the back of the box.
Remove any protective covering from the outside of the filter box.
Using the appropriate fasteners (Not Supplied), mount the box to the wall.
Disconnect the water inlet to the water dispenser and connect to the inlet copper tube on the filter head.
Connect the poly tubing from the outlet of the filter head to the inlet of the water dispenser.
Remove the red cap from the filter and install on the filter head turning clockwise.
Turn on the water and check for leaks. Repair as needed.
Run approximately 1 gallon of water through the water dispenser. This flushing procedure purges air and fine carbon particles from the filter. After 1 gallon of water has been purged, carefully inspect all water connections for leaks.
After peeling the protective covering from the front cover, hook the tabs on the top into the slots on the top of the box. Slide the cover down and install the supplied screw. Once done keep the bit as it will be needed for replacing the filter.
