REPLACING THE FILTER CARTRIDGE
1. Remove the Lid Assembly by turning counterclockwise
until it separates from the Filter Housing. As you
remove the Lid Assembly, the Filter Cartridge will
remain attached to the Lid Assembly.

2. Hold the Lid Assembly and rotate the Filter Cartridge
counterclockwise to remove. Discard the used Cartridge
with your regular refuse.

3. Wash the inside of Filter Housing and Lid Assembly
with warm water, a mild dish washing detergent and
a clean cloth.
4. Remove the plastic sanitary wrap from your new Filter
