CONDITION
White sediment is in my filtered water.
REASON
There is a presence of calcium carbonate in
your main water supply. This condition will
occur any time the filtered water is boiled
or frozen and then melts.
SOLUTION
This condition is normal – no action is
required. However, you may choose to
strain the white sediment.
CONDITION
Ice cubes appear cloudy in the center.
REASON
Minerals such as calcium and magnesium
that are present in your water supply
collect in the center of ice cubes when
the water is frozen.
SOLUTION
No action is required. Your System is
specifically designed to leave beneficial
trace minerals in your water.
CONDITION
The YELLOW Lamp on the Intelligent
Monitor ™ is flashing.
REASON
Your Filter Cartridge is reaching the end
of its rated capacity and will need to be
replaced soon.
SOLUTION
Purchase a new, NSF certified WaterChef ®
CR70 Filter Cartridge. For the location of
the reseller nearest you, call WaterChef
Customer Care at 1.800.879.8909 (int’l
+1.775.359.9500). Once the RED Lamp
begins flashing, it’s time to install a new
CR70 Cartridge and Battery (included).
CONDITION
Diverter Pin is sluggish or does not fully
return to the “off” position after being
in service for a while.
REASON #1
There could be a lack of lubricant on the
shaft of the Diverter Valve.
SOLUTION #1
Remove the Diverter Valve from the kitchen
faucet. Press petroleum jelly into opening
on the Diverter Valve. Work the Diverter Pin
in and out until a smooth motion is restored.
REASON #2
Hard water (water with high content of
dissolved minerals) has caused a buildup
in the Diverter Valve.
SOLUTION #2
Soak Diverter Valve in vinegar for several
hours to remove buildup. Then rinse
Diverter Valve with warm water. Press
petroleum jelly into opening on the Diverter
Valve and work the Diverter Pin in and out
until a smooth action is restored. Replace
rubber washer and reconnect the Diverter
Valve to the kitchen faucet.
CONDITION
Filtered water is flowing slowly from
the System.
REASON
Excessive amounts of particles in the water
supply may cause premature plugging of
Filter Cartridge. This condition may occur
before the RED Lamp begins to flash.
SOLUTION
Filter Cartridge must be replaced due to
poor water quality conditions in your area.
NOTE: Battery MUST be replaced at time
of Cartridge replacement. (CR70 Filter
Cartridge includes a new Battery.)
