PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
Do not use with water that is microbiologically
unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection
before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction
may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
filterable cysts.
CAUTION
Filter must be protected against freezing, which can
cause cracking of the filter and water leakage.
CAUTION
Because of the product's limited service life and to
prevent costly repairs or possible water damage, we strongly
recommend that the head of the filter be replaced every ten
years. If the head of your filter has been in use for longer than this
period, it should be replaced immediately. Date the top of any
new head to indicate the next recommended replacement date.
CAUTION
Turn off water supply to head without cartridge if it
must be left unattended for an extended period of time.
NOTE:
For cold water use only.
•
This installation must comply with all applicable state and
•
local regulations.
The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by
•
this water treatment device are not necessarily in your water.
Ask your local water municipality for a copy of their water
analysis, or have your water tested by a reputable water
testing lab.
After prolonged periods of non-use, such as a vacation, it
•
is recommended that the system be flushed thoroughly. Let
water run for 2-3 minutes before using.
The filter cartridge used with this system has a limited service
•
life. Changes in taste, odor, color, and/or flow of the water
being filtered indicate that the cartridge should be replaced.

Mounting the Filter System
(A) Turn off the cold water supply to the refrigerator and
dispense the water from the refrigerator door until water
flow stops to release the pressure in the pipes before starting
installation. Place a tray or towels under the cold water line
to catch the excess water after the pipes are cut.
NOTE: Before starting installation, turn off
the ice maker in the refrigerator and store the
ice cubes in a clean container in the freezer.

inches (38 mm) clearance below housing or
1
2-
11-inches below filter head to enable filter cartridge changes.
