Turn on the filtered water faucet. Then, slowly open the water supply/saddle valve and allow the filter housing to fill.

Close the filtered water faucet. Then, check for leaks between the sump and the head.

NOTE: If leaking, turn off the water supply and turn on the filtered water faucet. Disassemble the filter housing and check the o-ring for cuts, flat spots, etc., and sealing surfaces for foreign material. Clean the o-ring and lightly lubricate with clean silicone grease. Carefully press into the groove in the sump. Reassemble and check for leaks.

If you are replacing the batteries, remove, properly discard and install two new AA alkaline batteries in the battery pack. Removing the batteries or momentarily disconnecting the lead wires resets the six-month electronic timer. It is recommended that you change your batteries at least once a year.

The filter cartridges contain activated carbon. When new, turn on the filtered water faucet for ten minutes to flush the system.

Place filter change label on sump, inside cabinet door, or in another convenient location. Write in date of filter change for future reference. Filters should be changed every six months.
