About the water filtration system.

Using the Water Filtration System and About the Filter Cartridge

The countertop timcet dispenses filtered drinking water when opened.It has a hand-operated, spring-loaded closed lever to prevent waste,

Ym can keep the timcet open bv pushing upward on the lever to lock itagainst the timcet spout.

Filter Cartridge Life -Se',eral ",ariables detemfine how long the cartridges

will last in your Water Film_tion system. These include:

E_] How much water you use.

r-_'] How much sediment, taste and/or odor, lead, or other unwanted substanceis in the water

No matter which Water Filtration system you have, you should replace the

cartridges eve_T six months, when indicated bv the electronic indicatorlight on the base. In extremely poor water supplies, you may notice thereturn of the unwanted substance in vour water before the six months

are up. In this case the camidges should be replaced immediamly.

If the s):stem is also fin" lead or chemical contaminant removal, it isMORE IMPORTANTto replace the cartridges at least every six months.

NOTE:If the water supply contains high aillotlnts of sediments, the carbonfilte_ may plug prematurely, reducing filtered water fl_)w to the systemtimcet. Cartridge replacement is needed to restore flow.

Electronic Indicator Light (not available on all models) - Th e electronic

indicator light on the base ot the timcet is a six-month timer that showsw)u when to replace the filter cartridges. _,_]_en the battery pack is fi_tinstalled, the indicator light will light briefly to show that the electronics

are operating. If this does not happen, the batteries may be installedbackwards or the lead wires are not connected.

_Mter about six months, the indicator light begins to flash. It is time to

replace the filter cartridges. X._qmn rel)lacin,*_ the filter cartridges, alsoreplace the batteries in the batte_, pack. Two __ batteries are required.
