GENERAL USE

CONDITIONS

Read this Performance Data Sheet and compare the capabilities of this refrigera- tor with your actual water treatment needs.

DO NOT use this product where water is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts.

Use only with cold water supply. Check for compliance with the state and local laws and regulations.

The Amana® Clean ‘n Clear™ retractable water filtration system uses a WF50 replacement cartridge. Timely replace- ment of filter cartridge is essential for performance satisfaction from this filtra- tion system. Please refer to the applica- ble section in this Owner’s Manual for general operation, maintenance require- ments and trouble shooting.

This system has been tested according to ANSI/NSF 42 and 53 for reduction of the substances listed below. The concentra- tion of the indicated substances in water entering the system was reduced to a concentration less than or equal to the permissible limit for water leaving the sys- tem, as specified in ANSI/NSF 42 and 53.
