Installation instructions
11US CA
Installation instructions:
1 Ensure the refrigerator is NOT plugged into a power supply.
2Locate a cold water supply/feed only suitable for a water connection. Tee and tap fitting is not supplied.
3 Connect the 8” (200 mm) blue tubing to the outlet of the PRV (blue collet) and the inlet connection of the water filter cartridge as shown in Diagram 1. Gently pull on both ends to ensure it is locked.
4Connect the white ¼/4” (6 mm) tubing to the outlet of the water filter cartridge as shown in Diagram 2. Gently pull to ensure it is locked.
5Measure the required length of tubing to run from the PRV
to the water connection point (no less than 10” (250 mm)).
6Cut the tubing making sure the ends are square and clean.
7Connect the tubing to the faucet connection and the base
of the PRV (white collet) and then to the faucet as shown in Diagram 3. Please note that the faucet connection supplied should fit most installation situations.
8Connect one locking key to each side of the water filter cartridge in between the cartridge and the locking collet as shown in Diagram 4.
9To flush the water filter of any trapped air, harmless carbon fines and to also check for leaks, aim the end
of the tubing into a bucket, turn isolating faucet on and run at least 10 qt (10 L) of water through. Once complete, turn isolating faucet off.
10Locate desired position for water filter noting carefully the following points:
■■It is recommended to fit the water filter in a vertical orientation with the water filter head at the top. This will minimize water leakage when replacing cartridge.
■■Ensure the filter is in a convenient location to access every 6 months for replacement. We suggest that this location is beside the water filter supply faucet in a cupboard beside the refrigerator.
■■A minimum clearance of 2 ½” (64 mm) from the bottom of the filter cartridge is required to perform
cartridge removal.
■■Do not screw water filter to refrigerator.
