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.
•
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.
•
Discard the first two batches of ice cubes to
avoid consuming carbon dust or particles that
may have been present in the new filter
cartridge.
•
See “Winterization Procedure” at the end of
this section for further information.
NOTE: When removing the coach from storage,
always disinfect and flush the water
system thoroughly before installing a
new filter.
DISINFECTING YOUR FRESH
WATER SYSTEM
To ensure complete disinfection of the potable
water system, it is recommended that the
following procedure be followed on a new
system, one that has not been used for a period of
time, or one that could have become
contaminated.
This procedure is also recommended before
long periods of storage, such as over winter.
Models with City Water Tank Fill
The fresh water tank must be filled through
the city water connection in the water service
center.
These models require temporarily connecting
an external cartridge-type water filter assembly
in-line between the city water hose and the city
water fill to add disinfecting solution to the tank.
These filters are commonly available at most RV
supply stores.
NOTE: If you do not have an in-line cartridge
filter, see City Water Hose Disinfection
following this procedure for an alternate
method of adding bleach solution to your
tank.
1. Remove the filter cartridge and pour 1/2 cup
of household chlorine bleach (sodium
hypochlorite solution) for each 30 gallons of
