Installing the water filter.
1. Remove the water filter cover(

)
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 lter.
3. Remove the water filter from the box and put a replacement
indicator sticker on the filter as shown. Place the 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 lter. Normally, a lter
life is about 6 months.
