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 filĆ

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 inĆ

ward (closed) before opening the

sink hot water faucet.

CAUTION: Do not force the divertĆ

er knob inward while the cold water

faucet is open. Always close the fauĆ

cet first, to prevent damaging the diĆ

verter.

Note: The first time you use the filter,

and whenever you change the carĆ

bon cartridge, discard the first 2-3

glasses of filtered water. The filtered

water may contain some harmless

carbon particles (``fines'') from the

new cartridge.
