Quick Setup Guide | NS-MSWF-1/NS-MSWF-1-C
Refrigerator Filter
Congratulations on your purchase of one of the highest performing
water lters on the market today. Insignia lters use a high-grade
coconut carbon that has 50% more micro-pores than standard carbon.
They also use fewer high-compression binders, giving you the best
water ltration possible.
PACKAGE CONTENTS
• Refrigerator lter(s) (1 pack)
• Quick Setup Guide
GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
• It is normal for black carbon nes (particles) to appear on the outside
of your lter. This happens when the lter is jarred in shipping. It is
safe, simply wipe it o.
• The lter connectors are larger to prevent leaks. You might have to
twist the lter hard to make sure the connection is secure.
INSTALLING THE WATER FILTER
1 YOU MUST SOAK your new lter in water for 15 minutes prior to
installing it in your refrigerator to remove air from the carbon block.
2 Twist the old lter a quarter-turn counter-clockwise.
3 Pull the lter straight out and discard.
4 Push the new lter into the refrigerator until it stops.
5 Twist the lter a quarter-turn clockwise.

SOLUTION
• Make sure that you soaked your lter in water
for 15 minutes before installing.
• Make sure that the lter is securely connected
to the receiver. Do not use tools to tighten the
lter in place.
• Make sure that the water line to the refrigerator
is turned on. The valve must be completely
open for the refrigerator to receive water.
• Make sure that the refrigerator door is closed or
the dispenser will not work.
• A few drops are normal. If the water is dripping
constantly, have a service technician check your
refrigerator’s water valve.
• Cloudy water is caused by microscopic air
bubbles. Run two to three gallons of water from
your dispenser to clear the air bubbles out.
• Black carbon pieces in the water are normal and
appear with all carbon lters. Run two to three
gallons of water through your dispenser to
remove loose carbon pieces.
• Make sure that you soaked your lter in water
for 15 minutes before installing.
• Noises and sputtering are caused by trapped air
pockets. Run two to three gallons of water from
your dispenser to push the air out.
• If you do not use your water dispenser for more
than four days, run two gallons of water
through the dispenser before using it.
• Make sure that you replace your lter every
three to six months to prevent bacteria growth.
• Replace your lter every three to six months to prevent bacteria and
fungus growth in your lter, supply lines, and storage tank.
• Stored lters do not expire. Keep your unused lters in a cool, dark, and
dry place until you need them.
• If you do not use your water dispenser for more than four days, run two
gallons of water before using it to prevent bad tasting water.
