SET UP AND INSTALLATION

1. Open the shipping carton, remove all System parts
and place them on your kitchen counter.

2. Compare items with the parts shown in this manual
to be certain all items were included.

3. Unthread and remove the aerator from the end of
your kitchen faucet if it has one.

4. Thread the Diverter Valve directly onto your kitchen
faucet. Do NOT over-tighten.

5. If the threads to the Diverter Valve do not directly
attach to your kitchen faucet, use one of the three
Adapters provided.

6. Most kitchen faucets with external threads will
directly attach to the Diverter Valve. In some
instances the Diverter Valve may be smaller than
your kitchen faucet. In this case use the Adapter
with internal threads and thread it directly to your
kitchen faucet. Next, thread the Diverter Valve to
the Adapter.

7. If your kitchen faucet has internal threads, thread
one of the two Adapters with external threads
directly to your kitchen faucet. Next, thread the
Diverter Valve to the Adapter.

8. If your kitchen faucet does not have threads,
measure the inside diameter of the kitchen faucet then
contact your Independent Royal Prestige Representative or
Royal Prestige Customer Service Center 1-800-279-3373.
Be sure to request an Expandable Adapter.

REPLACING THE CARTRIDGE

The most important part of maintaining your FrescaPure

®

Drinking Water System is replacing the Cartridge on a regular
service interval. To insure that your System continues to
perform as stated in the Performance Data Sheet, the
Cartridge should be replaced every twelve (12) months,
when you notice a reduction in flow, when the rated capacity of
the Cartridge has been reached, or when you notice a taste
or odor re-occurrence, whichever comes first.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to insist on Genuine, Royal Prestige NSF
Certified Replacement Cartridges. All Royal Prestige Genuine
Replacement Cartridges can be indentified by the Royal Prestige
Registered Trademark that appears on every Cartridge.

Only Genuine Royal Prestige NSF Listed Replacement Cartridges
have been tested and certified to insure the performance
represented in the Performance Data Sheet. Failure to use
Genuine, Royal Prestige Replacement Cartridges and replacement
components will invalidate your Warranty.

1. Remove the Lid Assembly by turning counterclock­wise until it separates from the Filter Housing. As
you remove the Lid Assembly, the Cartridge will
remain attached to the Lid Assembly.

RECOMMENDATION: Rubber gloves should be worn to
avoid direct contact with the contaminants removed by

the used Cartridge.

2. Hold the Lid Assembly and rotate the Cartridge
counterclockwise to remove. Discard the old
cartridge with your regular refuse.

3. Wash the inside of the Filter Housing and Lid
Assembly with warm water, a mild dish washing
detergent, and a clean cloth.

CAUTION: Do not use abrasive pads or other abrasive materials
to clean the Filter Housing or Lid Assembly.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Condition:

White sediment is in my filtered water.

Reason:

There is a presence of calcium carbonate in your

main water supply. This will occur any time the filtered
water is boiled or frozen and then melts.

Solution:
This condition is normal and no action is required.

Condition:
Ice cubes appear cloudy in the center.

Reason:

Minerals such as calcium and magnesium that are

present in your water supply collect in the center of
the ice cubes when water is frozen. Your System is
designed specifically to leave beneficial trace minerals
in your water.

Solution:
No action is required.

Condition:

Filtered water is flowing slowly from the System.

Reason:
Excessive amounts of particles in the water supply may

have caused pre-mature plugging of the Cartridge.

Solution:

The Cartridge must be replaced due to poor water

quality conditions in your area.

Genuine Royal Prestige® NSF Listed Replacement
Cartridges may be purchased from your Independent
Royal Prestige® Distributor.
