Position the cartridge inside the cartridge holder and slowly rotate the cartridge to the right until it stops. When the cartridge is properly installed, you will feel it “click” as it locks into place. The blade on the end of the cartridge should be positioned vertically. Do not overtighten.

Close the cartridge cover.

Run water from the dispenser for

3 minutes (about 11⁄2 gallons) to clear the system and prevent sputtering. See To Use the Dispenser section.

NOTE: A newly-installed water filter cartridge may cause water to spurt from the dispenser.
