)
2. Remove the fixed cap by turning it counter clockwise.
Keep the cap in a safe place for later use if you don’t
use the filter.
3. Remove the water filter from the box and put a
replacement indicator sticker on the filter as shown.
Place a sticker on the filter that dates six months in
the future. For example, if you install the water filter in
March, put the “SEP” sticker on the filter to remind you
to replace it in September. That way you’ll know when
it is time to replace the filter. Normally, a filter life is
about 6 months.
