2. Remove the fi xed 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 fi lter from the box and put a replacement
indicator sticker on the fi lter as shown. Place the sticker on
the fi lter that dates six months in the future. For example, if
you install the water fi lter in March, put the “SEP” sticker on
the fi lter 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.
