NOTE: Replacing the water filter causes a small amount of water (around 1 oz. or 25 cc) to drain. Place a cup under the front end of the water filter cover to collect any leaking water. Hold the water filter upright, once it is removed, to prevent any remaining water from spilling out

of the water filter.

yy Pull the water filter downward and pull out. Make sure to rotate the filter down completely before pulling it out of the manifold

hole.

2Replace with a new water filter.

yy Take the new water filter out of its packing and remove the protective cover from the o-rings. With

water filter tabs

in the horizontal position, push

the new water filter into the manifold hole until it stops.

3After the water filter is replaced, dispense 2.5 gallons of water (flush for approximately 5 minutes) to remove trapped air and contaminates from the system. Do not dispense the entire 2.5 gallon amount continuously. Depress and release the dispenser pad for cycles of 30 seconds ON and 60 seconds OFF.
