Proper Installation
Please read all instructions, specifications, and precautions before installing and using your water filter system.
Precautions:
For cold water use only.
After prolonged periods of non-use (such as during a vacation), it is recommended that the Filter System be flushed thoroughly. Let water
run for 10 minutes before using.
The QuickTwist® Filter used with this Filter System has a limited service life. Changes in taste, odor, and/or flow of the water being
filtered indicate that the filter should be replaced.
Before You Begin
n
Check near your refrigerator to locate a solid wall surface to mount the Filter System.
NOTE: The Filter System must be mounted in a vertical position. For cold water line only.
n Locate the water line to your refrigerator and observe if it is a flexible hose or a rigid pipe (ex: plastic, metal, copper). Rigid pipes
may require cutting. Also determine if you have all appropriate fasteners and adapters to fit your plumbing.
n
Consult your local plumbing codes and install accordingly.
STEP 1
Shut Off Water
1
Shut off the water supply to the refrigerator and shut off the icemaker if applicable.
2
Have a container handy to catch any water that leaks during installation.
3
Turn off the icemaker in the refrigerator before you begin.
4
Turn off water supply to the refrigerator and dispense the water from the refrigerator door until water flow stops. This releases
pressure from the pipes before installation.
This filter must be protected
from freezing, which can
cause cracking of the filter
and water leakage. 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 the 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 CAUTION
EXPLOSION OR FIRE HAZARD
If your refrigerator is gas powered, double check to determine which
lines are gas lines and which are water lines before performing this step.
Be sure that all electrical appliances and outlets are turned
off at the circuit breaker before working in cabinet area.
