Water Filtration and Monitoring System (cont.)

5.With cartridge cap in the vertical position, push the new filter cartridge into the base grille until it stops. Rotate the cartridge cap clockwise to a horizontal position.

6.RUN WATER THROUGH THE DISPENSER UNTIL THE WATER RUNS CLEAR (about 2-3 gallons or 6-7 minutes). This will clean the system and clear air from the lines. Additional flushing may be required in some households.

NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.

Using the dispenser without a water filter

You can run the dispenser without a water filter cartridge. Your water will not be filtered. If you run the dispenser without a water filter cartridge, keep the cartridge cap and replace it in the base grille for future use.

1.Remove the water filter cartridge (See “Changing a water filter cartridge” earlier in this section.) Then slide the cartridge cap off the end of the filter cartridge. DO NOT DISCARD THE CAP.

2.With the cartridge cap in the vertical position, insert the cap into the base grille until it stops.

3.Rotate the cartridge cap to a horizontal position.

NOTE: The cartridge cap may not be even with the base grille.
