Tested and Certified by NSF International against NSF/ANSI Standard 42 in
model EFF-60135 for the reduction of the claims specified on the Performance
Data Sheet, and to NSF/ANSI 372 ( <0.25% lead).
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.
-
Locate existing filter and remove it by turning it counter-clockwise as shown in the graphic.
-
Install new filter in to refrigerator.
-
Twist the filter clockwise until it stops.This is required to activate the internal valve inside the refrigerator.
If the valve is not fully activated, the water flow will be slower than normal. -
Check the water flow by filling a glass from the refrigerator water dispenser. If the water flow is slow or there is “chattering’, remove and reinstall the filter making sure it is seated securely. Check again. Run water from the dispenser for 5 minutes at 0.5gpm {about 2.5 gallons) to clear the system and prevent sputtering.
Resetting your filter indicator:
Note: These are the mast common filter reset instructions. If the
instructions don’t work for your refrigerator brand, see the documentation
that came with your refrigerator.
| Refriger at or brand | Instructions |
|---|---|
| GE? systems | Press and hold the reset water filter button on the |
dispenser for
3 seconds.
Kenmore® systems| The filter reset for Kenmore refrigerators varies by
model. See the documentation
that came with your refrigerator.
Storage and maintenance:
- Replace your filter every 6 months or 300 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 | 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 i n 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 i s reduced or if there is heavy sediment / rust present. Over-used filters will degrade the filtration performance,
