Whenever water of unknown quality is passed through
the GE Water Filtration system, filter elements should
be discarded and the filtration system flushed.
Circumstances that may require flushing the system are:
■ Boil-water advisory.
■ Flooding of the GE Water Filtration system.
■ Long-term nonuse.
CAUTION:
Never remove
the sumps when water pressure is
in the Water Filtration system.
1
Close the water supply/saddle valve
to the filter. Open the filtered water
faucet.
2
Remove the sump, using the sump
wrench tool (not included), from the filter
head by rotating the sump. Be careful,
the sump may be full of water. Be sure
to keep the large o-ring seal.
3
If you are replacing a filter cartridge,
remove and discard the used filter
cartridge.
4
Be sure the inside of the sump is clean.
Thoroughly wash the inside of the sump
with hot, soapy water and rinse.
5
Remove the wrapper from the new filter
cartridge and insert the filter cartridge
in the sump. Some cartridges fit either
way, while others fit only one way.
Observe markings on the cartridge.
NOTE: The Water Filtration system
uses different types of filter cartridges.
Be sure to install them correctly.
6
Lightly lubricate the o-ring seal
in the sump with clean food grade
silicone grease (silicone grease
is available through GE Parts
and Service: 1.800.626.2002, Part
number WS60X10005). Be sure it is fully
seated in its groove.
7
Hold the sump up to the filter head,
aligning the center hole in the cartridge
with the protrusion on the bottom
of the head. Failure to obtain proper
alignment may cause damage
to the filter and/or filtration system
which will degrade filter performance.

FLUSH PROCEDURE
FILTER CARTRIDGE INSTALLATION OR REPLACEMENT
8
Being careful not to cross-thread, rotate
the sump onto the filter head
and tighten securely by hand.
NOTE: If the sump will not tighten
up to the head or if you feel resistance,
you may have the cartridge in upside
down or misaligned. Take the cartridge
out and check for correct orientation
and reassemble.
9
Turn on the filtered water faucet. Then,
slowly open the water supply/saddle
valve and allow the filter housing to fill.
10
Close the filtered water faucet. Then,
check for leaks between the sump
and the head.
NOTE: If leaking, turn off the water
supply and turn on the filtered water
faucet. Disassemble the filter housing
and check the o-ring for cuts, flat spots,
etc., and sealing surfaces for foreign
material. Clean the o-ring and lightly
lubricate with clean silicone grease.
Carefully press into the groove
in the sump. Reassemble and check
for leaks.
11
The filter cartridges contain activated
carbon. When new, turn on the filtered
water faucet for five minutes to flush
the system.
12
Place filter change label on sump, inside
cabinet door, or in another convenient
location. Write in date of filter change
for future reference. Filters should
be changed every six months.
