INTRODUCTION ULTRAEASE™ UNDER SINK

MODULAR FILTRATION SYSTEM

Welcome to a New Era in Home Water Filtration Systems.

Thank you for purchasing the UltraEase™ Modular filtration system, Whirlpool Brand's latest innovative under sink water filtration system. This system will provide you with many years of great-tasting water.

Whether from your town’s water treatment plant or decaying pipes in your home, sediment rust, sand, silt and iron can be present in your water. What’s more, chlorine, lead and cyst levels may further affect the quality of your water. Your new UltraEase™ easy to con- nect filters, effectively reduce these unwanted particles from your water supply more simply than ever.

The unit’s NSF-certified filter cartridges have been tested to process up to 1,200 gallons of water before any replacement is needed (approximately 6 to 12 months* depending on your water consumption and flow rate). See the last page for more details. Replacing a filter is an easy “lift ‘n’ snap” operation, complete with an automatic shut-off water valve. And should you decide to upgrade to a more comprehensive water filtration system, your UltraEase™ easy to connect Filter Unit’s modular design allows you to add on other components that filter chemicals for even better-tasting water. As an option, you can also add to your system the DirectChill™ and/or the DirectHot™ units.

*The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by this water filter are not necessarily in all users' water. Filter life varies depending on local water conditions and the volume of water used. We recommend you change your filter every 12 months. However, it can be replaced earlier if there is a drop in pressure at the faucet or when the monitor indicates.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

IMPORTANT:

Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Check location where the faucet will be installed. Make sure you have everything necessary for correct installation. It is the responsibility of the installer to comply with installation specifications and with state and local plumbing codes.

The faucet requires a 1-3\8’’ (3.5cm) diameter opening in the sink or countertop. The faucet can be installed in place of the sink spray hose. If faucet is not to be installed in sink spray hose opening, it is recommended that a qualified installer be contacted to drill a hole through your sink or countertop. Thickness of countertop at the hole must not exceed 1-3/4’’ (4.4cm).

Cold water supply connection must be available. See ‘’Water supply requirements’’, section. Water connections use easy to connect fittings which do not require sealing compounds to keep them from leaking.
