Before You Begin
For K-77686, two identical filter cartridges are required. To maintain proper performance, replace both filter cartridges at the same time.
Replace the filter cartridges every 6 months, when the capacity has been exceeded, or when a noticeable decrease in water flow is observed.

1. Remove Existing Filter Cartridge
NOTE: Used filter cartridges can be recycled. In the U.S. only, follow the instructions on the envelope provided. Drain as much water as possible from the used filter cartridge before shipping.
Position a bucket, pan, or rag under the filtration system to catch residual water.
Turn the filter cartridge 90° clockwise, and pull down gently to remove.
Discard or recycle the used filter cartridge.

Use your hand to rotate the filter cartridge counterclockwise 90° until it stops and is securely engaged into the filter head.

Check the filter cartridge connections for leaks. Repair as needed. Run water through the faucet for at least 5 minutes to remove
any air and carbon particles in the system.
