Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips

Be sure you clean your hands with anti-bacterial soap before handling inner parts of the system.

1 Turn off the water supply valve to the Reverse

Osmosis System. Open the RO water faucet and leave the storage tank open. Allow the water in the system to drain completely (this takes several minutes).

If the Reverse Osmosis Filtration system is connected to your icemaker, YOU MUST turn off the icemaker by raising the feeler arm before servicing the filter, changing the filters or purging the filtration system. Four hours after servicing your unit, lower the feeler arm to resume icemaking.

2 Pull the Reverse Osmosis System out away from the cabinet but do not disconnect any tubing. Place a dry towel under the Reverse Osmosis Unit to absorb water that will spill out during disassembly.

3 Unscrew inlet cover cap to open Reverse Osmosis housing.

Sanitizing the system is done with the Reverse Osmosis Cartridge and filter cartridges removed from the system.

4 Remove the Reverse Osmosis Cartridge from the housing by grasping the end of the cartridge with the clean pliers and pulling to the right.

NOTE: Water may be discolored when removing the cartridge—this is NORMAL. Place the cartridge in a clean plastic bag to protect the cartridge from damage until it is reassembled.

5 Reinstall the inlet cover, making sure the O-ring is in place.

6 Remove the POSTFILTER sump by turning it to the left using the sump wrench that was provided with the Reverse Osmosis System.

Be careful when removing the sump because it is full of water. Remove the old filter cartridge from the sump and discard. Inspect the sump. Make sure the O-ring is seated in the top of the sump. Reinstall the sump (without the cartridge) to sanitize.

7 Remove the PREFILTER sump using the sump wrench and discard the old cartridge. Make sure the O-ring is seated in the top of the sump.
