USING YOUR COUNTERTOP WATER FILTER
♦ Set a glass, cup, pitcher, or other
container under the filter spout.
The spout rotates to any desired
position.
♦ Open the COLD water faucet and
adjust to a medium flow.
♦ Pull the diverter knob outward to
direct water to the filter.
♦ When the container is full of fil
tered water, close the cold water
faucet. Then, be sure the diverter
valve has closed (knob inward).
CAUTION: Do not direct hot water
into the countertop filter. Always
be sure the diverter valve knob is in
ward (closed) before opening the
sink hot water faucet,
CAUTION; Do not force the divert
er knob inward while the cold water
faucet is open. Always close the fau
cet first, to prevent damaging the di
verter.
Note: Cartridges containing carbon
must be flushed to allow fine, harm
less carbon particles to purge from
the cartridge. Close the diverter
valve when you no longer see the
"fines" in the filtered water, or
approximately 2-3 minutes.

and/or odor in the filtered water,
