This filter should not be used with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality
without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE:
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES:
Tested and Certified by NSF International against NSF/ANSI Standard 42 in
model EFF-6048S for the reduction of the claims specified on the Perfor-
mance Data Sheet, and to NSF/ANSI 372 (≤0.25% lead).
- Replace your filter every 6 months or 200 gallons to prevent bacteria and fungus growth in
your filter, supply lines, and storage tank.
- Keep your unused filters in a cool, dark, and dry place until you need them.
- If you do not use your water dispenser for more than four days, run two gallons of water
before using it to prevent bad tasting water.
Before Installation:
CAUTION:
· Shut off the cold-water supply to the refrigerator before installation. Turn on the refrigerator
water dispenser to release water pressure, letting water drain from the pipe completely.
· It is normal for black carbon fines (particles) to appear on the outside of your filter. This happens
when the filter is jarred in shipping. It is safe, simply wipe it off.
· The filter connectors are larger to prevent leaks. You might have to twist the filter hard to make
sure the connection is secure.
