Connecting The Faucet - Omnifilter SFM3 Instructions D'installation

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

5. Connecting the Faucet

A)
Determine the length of plastic tubing needed to connect the
outlet (right) side of filter with the faucet. Place a mark 5/8-inch
from each end of the tubing. Insert one end of the 1/4-inch tube
until the 5/8-inch mark is flush with the gray quick-connect fitting
collar located on the bottom of the threaded shaft of the faucet.
Repeat inserting other end of tubing into outlet of filter.
CAUTION
Do not bend or crimp tube when inserting.
B)
Gently pull back on the tube to ensure it is connected properly. If
the tube comes out of fitting, cut a small section of the tube off
and reconnect.
NOTE: Disconnecting the Tubing from the Quick-Connect Fittings.
Routine maintenance and cartridge replacement will not require that
you disconnect the tubing from the filter system; however, tubing may
be quickly and easily removed from the fitting if necessary. First, turn
off the water supply to the filter. Open faucet, then press in the grey
collar around the fitting while pulling the tubing with your
other hand.
6. Connecting the Supply Adapter
A)
Determine the length of plastic tubing needed to connect the inlet
(left) side of the filter with the supply adapter. Be sure to allow
enough tubing to prevent kinking and cut the tubing squarely.
Place a mark 5/8-inch from the end of the tubing.
B)
Wet tubing with water and insert into supply adapter 5/8-inch
until mark is flush with fitting. Repeat inserting other end of
tubing into inlet of filter.
7. Installing the Cartridge
A) Line up arrow on replacement cartridge with the unlocked position
on head and firmly push cartridge into head.
B) Turn to locked position.
8. Putting the System into Operation
A) Slowly turn on cold water supply.
B) Shut off faucet that was opened before starting installation.
C)
Rotate base of drinking water faucet counter-clockwise to "ON"
position. Allow water to run for 5 minutes to flush air and carbon
fines from filter cartridges. Check system for leaks before leaving
installation. If there are any leaks, see Troubleshooting, page 6.
NOTE:
A drinking water cartridge may contain carbon fines (very fine black
•
powder). After installation, flush the cartridge for 30 minutes to remove
the fines before using the water.
It is recommended that you run the tap at least 20 seconds prior to
•
using water for drinking or cooking purposes.
Initially, filtered water may appear cloudy. If you set a glass of water on
•
a level surface, you should be able to watch the cloudiness disappear
from the bottom of the glass upwards. This harmless cloudiness results
from the release of trapped air within the cartridge and will disappear
within a few weeks after installation.
INSTALLATION IS NOW COMPLETE.
