Instructions
for Connecting your Fridge Filter

NB
Pictures are supplied with the kit
1)
Remove Old Filter
a)
Turn off water supply to fridge.
b) Open fridge tap to relieve pressure.
c) Take old filter and disconnect tubing from both ends
d) Remove old plastic nuts and discard
2)
Check your in / out Tubes
Make
sure the ends are cut squarely. If in doubt cut a new
end using scissors or better still a razor knife. The
aim is to get a reasonably straight edge. Old customers
can now go to part (3) below
If
you are a new customer:
(A) Confirm Tube size is correct. It should ¼ inch
Outside Diameter. It should fit neatly into the plastic
nuts. (If different contact us to buy simple converters).
(B)
Insert one tiny plastic stopper into the end of each tube.
(These are in the small plastic bag).
3) Fitting Your New Filter
a)
Unscrew the plastic nuts at both ends of the new filter.
(You can discard the dummy tube inserts)
b)
Check flow direction is correct (see in-out arrows
on the filter). Select your first tube.
(Tip check you have correct tube for
the correct inlet / outlet end of the filter).
c)
Unscrew the plastic nut on the end of the filter and push
your tube through the centre ie so the nut is hanging
loose on the tube.
Then
push tube end into the fitting on the filter. Make
sure it goes all the way in. It should
go in approx a centimetre. (Tip: Twist
as you push it in).
d)
Now slide nut down to thread on the filter. Screw nut
onto the filter to finger tight.
e)
Then tighten it properly with a spanner. Caution: DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN. ONE MORE TURN with spanner after finger-tight
should suffice. Tip: When fully tight there should be
a gap of 1.5mm between the nut and the screw end on filter.
5)
Check the connection by pulling on end of tube. If it
comes out repeat above steps.
Now repeat above procedure with other tube / other
end of filter.
When both ends are connected
6)
Flush the New Filter Through. Turn water supply to fridge
back on and run water through for two minutes plus. This
is to remove natural carbon dust and trapped air.
7)
Check for leaks when flushing AND double check for leaks
10 minutes later
Finally
you can reset your fridge light by pressing ice button
and child lock together for 3 plus seconds.
Your
fridge light alert should go on after 6 months (NB it
is set on time rather than usage). We will also send you
reminders by email for easy reordering.
