‘Push-In’ Tubing Connector This product is outfitted with user friendly ‘Push In’ connectors. Proper use of the connectors is shown in the diagrams.

It is most important that the tubing selected for use with these connectors be of

high quality, exact size and roundness, and with no surface nicks or scratches. If it is necessary to cut the tubing, use a plastic tubing cutter or sharp razor knife. Make a clean square cut.

Should a leak occur at a ‘Push-In’ connector, the cause is usually defective tubing.

To Fix: • Relieve pressure

• Release tubing

• Cut off at least 1/4” from end.

• Reattach tubing

• Confirm connection is leak free.

M. FLUSH THE APPLIANCE OF THE PRESERVATIVE AND CHECK THE OPERATION

1)With the tank valve closed (the tank should still contain the sanitizing solution at this point), open the faucet (set the faucet handle in the "up" position) and feed water valve. Water should begin to drip from the faucet within several minutes. Continue to flush the system for 1 hour. Water will steadily drip from the faucet at this time. During this procedure, the tank is being intentionally bypassed in order to thoroughly sanitize the tank and also flush the membrane of any preservatives.

2)After flushing for 1 hour, shut off the faucet. Open the tank valve, lift the faucet handle again and allow the tank to completely empty. When the tank is empty, the faucet will drip steadily. Measure and record the rate at which water drips from the faucet. Use a graduated cylinder (in milliliters) and a watch with a second hand to calculate the approximate production in gallons per day (milliliters per minute x 0.38 = gpd). Proceed to check the reject flow by disconnecting the tubing at the drain connection and measuring the drip rate as outlined above. The ratio should be a minimum of 2.5 (reject) to 1 (product). Repeat every 5 minutes until the rate is constant. When the rate is constant, the tank is empty.

3)Allow the system to operate in this condition for 24 hours to ensure water purity.

4)Close the faucet and reinspect the appliance for leaks. Allow the tank to fill completely (it will take approximately 4 hours), then drain the tank again. The water should be discarded because it may contain some preservative/ disinfectant solution.

5)The appliance should be ready to use as soon as the tank refills. If any objectionable taste is noticed after the second tankful is drained, instruct the customer to wait and drain the tank the following day. Only at this time should an icemaker be turned on if one is connected to the appliance.

NOTE: If an optional percent rejection (PR) monitor is used and the red light is on, service is required. Several tankfuls of water may have to be used to completely flush the excess TDS from the new carbon postfilter before a green light will show.
