REPLACING THE PUR® MINERALCLEAR® WATER FILTER
1.When the filter life indicator lights have turned from white to red, it is time to replace your PUR® Mineralclear® filter with a new one.
Hint: It is easier to change the filter when no water is in the system. Unplug unit. Position over sink. Remove drain plug to drain water from system and then insert drain plug.
2.Remove fill cap and then lift off the top cover.
3.Locate the PUR® filter cap, twist the filter cap counterclockwise to loosen and remove cap – SAVE cap to replace with new filter.
4.Lift out filter using the small blue tab that is sticking up from the filter top and discard used filter.
NOTE: When the filter is out, it is a good time to clean the filter chamber and the outside of the unit by wiping out the area with a damp paper towel.
5.Remove the new PUR® Mineralclear® filter from the foil pouch.
6.Take the PUR® Mineralclear® filter and drop into the filter chamber, so the flat portion of the filter with the tab is on top and showing. Replace PUR® filter cap by screwing the cap clockwise 360° to tighten, so the point of the water drop shaped cap is pointing to the mark, replace top cover and fill cap.
7.See page 8 to Prime the System.
