• Page 13 - English - : Start Up Procedure IMPORTANT Run the start up cycle immediately after completing installation before using any water in the home The filtration media in this Central Water Filtration System contains a small number of harmless activated carbon particles generated during shipping that are small enough to exit the system with water flow It is normal for these particles to cause a temporary discol oration of the water coming out of the system To avoid discolored water at your homes faucets the sys tems start up cycle should be initiated to rinse the par ticles and any discolored water down the drain If the Central Water Filtration System is used without first running the start up cycle you will notice that the water will temporarily have a gray color until the parti cles have exited the system To Initiate the start up cycle 1 Make sure the drain hose is attached to the Central Water Filtration System and the other end is secured over a drain see Install Valve Drain Hose on Page 11 2 Make sure bypass valve is in the service open or filtered water position and the homes water supply is turned on 3 Press and hold the CLEAN button to initiate the start up cycle The button can be released when you hear the valve changing position and RECHARGE NOW flashes in the display During the start up cycle Throughout the start up cycle you will hear the valve changing position and notice the flow of water to drain starting and stopping The start up cycle will take approximately 20 minutes Avoid using water during this time Do not set the time of day or press other buttons during the start up cycle as this will interrupt the start up cycle Do not unplug the power supply during the start up cycle If the start up cycle is inter rupted it should be initiated again and allowed to run to completion After the start up cycle Once the start up procedure completes successfully it cannot be initiated a second time The Central Water Filtration System will automatically return to the normal operation position Once the start up cycle has run a faucet in the home should be opened and water allowed to run for 10 minutes at the systems rated flow If after running the start up cycle the water still appears discolored manually run Clean Rinse cycles See Page 14 until the water is clear If the time of day was not set before the start up cycle set it now See Page 12 Check the new plumbing connections and joints once more for leaks Questions Call Toll Free 18669863223 or visit whirlpoolwatersolutionscom When you call please be prepared to provide the model and serial number located on the rating decal on back of the cover
