Installation instructions
Installation instructions:
1
Ensure that refrigerator is not plugged into a power supply.
2
Locate a cold water supply/feed only suitable for a water
connection. Tee & tap fitting is not supplied. If you can’t find
the connection faucet, contact an authorised plumber in
your state or town to fit your water connection.
3
Connect the 8” (200 mm) blue tubing to the outlet of the
PRV (blue collet) and the inlet connection of the water filter
cartridge as shown in Diagram 1. Gently pull on both ends
to ensure it is locked.
4
Connect the white ¼” (6 mm) tubing to the outlet of the
water filter cartridge as shown in Diagram 2. Gently pull to
ensure it is locked.
5
Measure the required length of tubing to run from the PRV
to the water connection point.
6
Cut the tubing making sure the ends are square and clean.
7
Connect the tubing to the faucet connection and the base
of the PRV (white collet) and then to the faucet as shown
in Diagram 3. Please note that the faucet connection
supplied should fit most installation situations. If your
faucet requires a different fitting, please contact an
authorised plumber in your state or town to purchase
the correct fitting.
8
Connect one locking key to each side of the water
filter cartridge in between the cartridge and the
locking collet as shown in Diagram 4.
9
To flush the water filter and check for leaks, aim the
end of the tubing into a bucket, turn isolating faucet
on and run at least 3 qt (3 L) of water through. Once
complete, turn isolating faucet off.
10
Locate desired position for water filter noting carefully the
following points:
It is recommended to fit the water filter in a vertical
orientation with the water filter head at the top. This will
minimize water leakage when replacing cartridge.
Ensure the filter is in a convenient location to access
every 6 months for replacement. We suggest that
this location is beside the water filter supply faucet in
a cupboard beside the refrigerator.
A minimum clearance of 2 ½” (64 mm) from the
bottom of the filter cartridge is required to perform
cartridge removal.
Do not screw water filter to refrigerator.
