Filter Cartridge Installation or Replacement
CAUTION: Never remove the sumps when water pressure is in the
Water Filtration system.
Close the water supply/saddle valve to the filter. (See illustration in the
1
Installation Overview section for location of the water supply valve.)
Open the filtered water faucet.
Remove the sump, using the sump wrench tool*, from the filter head by
2
rotating the sump as shown. Be careful, the sump may be full of water.
Be sure to keep the large o-ring seal.
If you are replacing a filter cartridge, remove and discard the used
3
filter cartridge.
Be sure the inside of the sump is clean. Thoroughly wash the inside of
4
the sump with hot, soapy water and rinse.
Remove the wrapper from the new filter cartridge and insert the filter
5
cartridge in the sump. Some cartridges fit either way, while others fit only
one way. Observe markings on the cartridge.
NOTE: The Water Filtration system uses two different types of filter
cartridges. Be sure to install them correctly. See Specification Guidelines
for a complete list of filter performance characteristics.
Lightly lubricate the o-ring seal in the sump with clean food grade
6
silicone grease (silicone grease is available through GE Parts and Services:
1-800-626-2002 Part number: WS60X10005). Be sure it is fully seated in
its groove.
Hold the sump up to the filter head, aligning the center hole in the
7
cartridge with the protrusion on the bottom of the head. Failure to
obtain proper alignment may cause damage to the filter and/or filtration
system, which will degrade filter performance.
Being careful not to cross-thread, rotate the sump onto the filter head
8
and tighten securely by hand.
NOTE: If the sump will not tighten up to the head or if you feel resistance,
you may have the cartridge in upside down or misaligned. Take the
cartridge out and check for correct orientation or alignment and
reassemble.
Turn on the filtered water faucet. Then, slowly open the water supply
9
valve and allow the filter housing to fill.
Close the filtered water faucet. Then, check for leaks between the sump
10
and the head.
NOTE: If leaking, turn off the water supply and turn on the filtered water
faucet. Disassemble the filter housing and check the o-ring for cuts, flat
spots, etc., and sealing surfaces for foreign material. Clean the o-ring and
lightly lubricate with clean silicone grease. Carefully press into
the groove in the sump. Reassemble and check for leaks.
The filter cartridges contain activated carbon. When new, turn on the
11
filtered water faucet for five minutes to flush the system.
Place filter change label on sump, inside cabinet door, or in another
12
convenient location. Write in date of filter change for future reference.
Filters should be changed every six months.
