any remaining water from spilling out

rotate the filter down
completely before pulling
it out of the manifold
hole.

the new water
filter into the
manifold hole
until it stops.
Rotate the water filter up y
into position and close
the cover. The cover
will click when closed
correctly.

dispense 2.5 gallons of water (flush for
approximately 5 minutes) to remove
