1. Remove the body-cover from
the AQUA

tubing receptacles are over or
in the sink. Gently push in on
the inlet tubing, in the opening
marked (+) with the gray collar.
Slide the small wrench supplied
with your AQUA
3
II around the
inlet tubing, with the indented

19/19a) and while pushing in
gently on the gray collar; pull
out the tube with your other
hand. Some water may drain
from your AQUA
3
II. Do not
remove the white, outlet tubing.
Cleaning the exterior:
Use a clean, damp cloth with mild dishwashing soap to clean the white
portions of the body-cover.
To remove fingerprints and water spots from the stainless steel portion of
the body-cover, rub gently with a soft cloth. Do not let water spots dry on
the stainless steel portion of the body-cover. You may use a high quality
stainless steel polish to clean this portion of the body-cover, however
we suggest testing it on a small section for scratching. Never use an
abrasive cleanser on the stainless steel portion of the body-cover.
Cleaning the pre-filter ceramic candle:
Note: Sanitary precautions should always be taken when handling soiled
components of your AQUA
3
II. We suggest using thin waterproof gloves.
ALWAYS SUPPORT THE PRE-FILTER CERAMIC CANDLE BY
HOLDING IT GENTLY BUT FIRMLY WITH ONE HAND. HOLD THE
PRE-FILTER CERAMIC CANDLE IN THE CENTER—NEVER HOLD
IT BY ITS ENDS.
The pre-filter ceramic candle will crack or break with
improper handling.
Clean the pre-filter ceramic candle whenever water-flow falls to an
unacceptable rate.
Before cleaning the pre-filter ceramic candle, it is necessary to drain out
any existing water from the pre-filter housing.
