How It Works

The Amana® water filtration system provides water
treatment with a revolutionary 2-stage design.

• Removes sediment particles down to 1/2 micron
in size.

• Reduces more than 90% of lead.

• Reduces more than 99% of chlorine.

• Removes more than 99.99% of Cryptosporidium.

• Removes more than 99.99% of Giardia.

• Removes bad tastes and odors.

In first stage of treatment, a special filtration media
reduces excess rust, dirt, sand, and chlorine. In second
stage of treatment a solid carbon block reduces
waterborne, disease-causing protozoa, such as
cryptosporidium and giardia, and reduces lead, chlorine,
bad taste, and odor.

The Amana® water filtration system reduces sediments
in your water supply before they reach your refrigerator.
This extends the life of ice maker components.

Caution

To avoid property damage, observe the
following:

• Confirm water pressure to water valve is
at least 35 pounds per square inch (PSIG)
(244 Kilopascals).

• Confirm water pressure to water valve
does not exceed 120 PSIG
(828 Kilopascals).

• Do not install water filtration system on a
hot water line or in direct sunlight.

• Maximum operating temperature is 125°F
(52°C).

• Confirm rated service flow is 0.6 gallons
per minute (GPM) (2.3 liters per minute).

• Check carefully for water leaks after
water filter installation and 24 hours after
installation.

• Water filtration system is not to be
installed in conjunction with another
water filtration system, such as a reverse
osmosis filter.

Important

• Amana recommends having your water supply
tested for sediment content prior to water filtration
system installation.

• To prevent high sediment content in water supply
from causing water filtration system prematurely
reaching its capacity, a prefilter is available,
part #R0185009.

• Installation is to be performed after water line to
refrigerator has been installed.

• Verify water pressure is at least 35 PSIG, before
installing water filter.

• These installation instructions are intended for
application with refrigerator only.

• Amana recommends having plumber install water
filtration system according to local codes.

1. Choose location of water filtration system.

• To remove tubing from quick connect fittings hold
collet in and pull tube out. Do not attempt to turn
fittings when removing tubing.
