Filter Cartridge Replacement
You should change your filter when the water flow is noticeably reduced or at least every 3 months.
Turn off water to filter. Water must be shut off from
an upstream valve.
Press the red pressure release button to release
pressure.
Unscrew the filter canister and discard used filter.
Wash the filter canister with mild soap and water.
Do not use harsh cleaners or hot water.
Inspect the filter canister O-ring. Make sure it is
lightly lubricated with clean food grade silicone
grease (silicone grease is available through GE
Parts and Service: 1.800.626.2002, part number
WS60X10005). Be sure the o-ring is seated in the
groove. It is recommended that you replace the
O-ring if it is damaged.
Place a new filter cartridge into the canister,
making sure it is centered and completely seated
on the bottom seal.
Reinstall the filter canister to the unit. Use the
canister wrench to tighten the canister. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN.
Slowly turn on water to the filter by using the
upstream shut-off valve.
Press the red pressure release button to remove
trapped air.
After installation, flush the cartridge for
10 minutes, wait one hour, then flush again
for 10 minutes before using the water.
