3.Be sure the inside of the sump is clean. Use hot, soapy water and rinse thoroughly.

4.Remove the wrapper from the new filter cartridge

and insert the filter cartridge in the sump. Some car- tridges fit either way, while others fit only one way.

Observe markings on the cartridge, or on the wrap- per.

Note: If you are installing two different types of filter cartridges, be sure to install in filters I and II as the

guideline on page 3 shows.

5.Lightly lubricate the o-ringseal in the sump with silicone grease or Vaseline. Be sure it is fully seated in its groove.

6.Hold the sump up to the filter head aligning the

center hole in the cartridge with the protrusion on the bottom of the head.

Note: If the sump will not tighten up to the head you

may have the cartridge in upside down. Take the car- tridge out and check for correct orientation.

7. Being careful not to cross-thread, turn (counter-

clockwise) the sump onto the filter head and tighten

securely.

9.Open the filtered water faucet. Then, slowly open

the water supply valve and allow the filter housing to fill.

10.Close the filtered water faucet. Check for leaks be-

tween the sump and the head.

Note: If leaking, turn off the water supply and open

the filtered water faucet to depressurize the filter.

Then disassemble the filter and check the o-ring for cuts, flat spots, etc., and sealing surfaces for foreign material. Clean the o- ring and lubricate with silicone grease or Vaseline. Carefully press into the groove in the sump.

11. Taste and Odor Cartridges: A taste and odor car-

tridge contains activated carbon, a black powder, When new, open the filtered water faucet and allow

fine, harmless carbon particles to purge from the car- tridge. Close the faucet when you no longer see the

"fines" in the filtered water, or approximately 10 minutes.
