■Remove blue bypass cap and retain for later use.
■Carefully remove the interior water filter from its packaging. Remove the sealing label from the end of the filter and insert it into the filter head.
■Gently rotate the filter clockwise until it stops. Then snap the filter cover closed.
3.Flush the water system by dispensing and discarding 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) of water. Flushing the system will take approximately 6 to 7 minutes and will help clear air from the line. Additional flushing may be required in some households.
NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.
