Installing the Filtration Unit
The filtration unit should be mounted in a convenient position in the cupboard, to allow for ready and easy access during
filter changes.
Usually the side of the cupboard, near the door, is most suitable. However, the length of the tubes from filter to carafe
tap and from water supply to filter need to be considered when selecting a suitable position to mount the filter head.
Using the two screws provided, screw the filter head to the inside of the cupboard, allowing 270 mm minimum clearance
between the underside of the filtration head and any obstructions like shelves, etc.
Write the installation date on the filter cartridge. Fit the cartridge into the housing. The model you have may appear
slightly different to that illustrated, however, operation and function is identical.
Align the tabs of the cartridge with the filter housing and insert it into the socket. Turn the cartridge a quarter turn to the
right until it stops and locks into position.
Check that the direction of flow on the filter head is correct.
