Before using the water for drinking, run a few
gallons of water through the filter and discard
water to avoid consuming carbon dust or
particles that may have been present in the
new filter cartridge.
Diverter Plug
•
Install the diverter plug into the filter socket
for winterization or if water must be used
while the filter is removed from the socket.
The diverter plug is installed in the same
manner as the water filter.
•
See “Winterization Procedure” at the end of
this section for further information.
•
When removing the coach from storage,
always disinfect and flush the water system
thoroughly before installing a new filter. See
“Disinfecting Your Fresh Water System”
elsewhere in this section for more
information.
NOTE: After the system has been thoroughly
flushed, remove the diverter plug and
store for future use.
ICE MAKER WATER FILTER
–If Equipped
If the refrigerator in your coach is equipped
with an ice maker, an ice maker filter is provided,
which removes chlorine and odors for clean,
taste-free ice cubes.
Replacing the Ice Maker Filter
Cartridge
The filter cartridge must be replaced at least
every 12 months, or when water flow from the
filtered water faucet is too slow for convenience.
•
Place a container beneath the filter to catch
any water remaining in the waterlines during
filter removal.
•
Twist the filter cartridge counter-clockwise
(to the left) about one-quarter turn, then pull it
down and out of the filter socket. (A spring-
loaded valve inside the filter socket will block
water from flowing out of the socket when the
filter cartridge is removed).
•
Insert a new filter cartridge up into the filter
socket as far as possible and twist it clockwise
(to the right) one-quarter turn until it stops.
• Insert new filter up into filter socket -
press and twist 1/4 turn “clockwise”.
