• These filters are not water purifiers. Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without
adequate disinfection before or after the system.
• This unit is not designed to filter sulfur odor (rotten egg odor) caused by hydrogen sulfide. Use of carbon filters to treat sulfur odor

Filtration Facts
Please read all instructions, specifications, and precautions before
installing and using your water filter system.
NOTICE
Precautions: for cold water use only.
Before installation be sure there is enough slack in the tubing to move refrigerator out for cleaning under refrigerator.
Consult your local plumbing codes and install accordingly.
This filter must be protected from freezing, which can cause cracking of the filter and water leakage.
Because of the product’s limited service life and to prevent costly repairs or possible water damage, we strongly recommend that
the filter be replaced every 5 years. If the filter has been in use for longer than this period, it should be replaced immediately.
DANGER: EXPLOSIVE FIRE HAZARD. If your refrigerator is gas powered, double check to determine which lines are gas lines and
which are water lines.
