Base grille
To remove:
1. Remove one screw at each end of the base grille.
2. Remove base grille.
3. Replace in reverse order.
5. With cartridge cap in the vertical position, push the
new filter cartridge into the base grille until it stops.
Rotate the cartridge cap clockwise to a horizontal
position.
6. RUN WATER THROUGH THE DISPENSER UNTIL
THE WATER RUNS CLEAR (about 2-3 gallons or 6-7
minutes). This will clean the system and clear air from
the lines. Additional flushing may be required in some
households.
NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may
spurt out of the dispenser.
Using the dispenser
without a water filter
You can run the dispenser without a water filter cartridge.
Your water will not be filtered. If you run the dispenser
without a water filter cartridge, keep the cartridge cap
and replace it in the base grille for future use.
1. Remove the water filter cartridge (See “Changing a
water filter cartridge” earlier in this section.) Then
slide the cartridge cap off the end of the filter
cartridge. DO NOT DISCARD THE CAP.
2. With the cartridge cap in the vertical position, insert
the cap into the base grille until it stops.
3. Rotate the cartridge cap to a horizontal position.
NOTE: The cartridge cap may not be even with the
base grille.
