Filter Cartridge Replacement
You should change your filter when the water flow is noticeably reduced or at least every 3 months.
Turn off water to filter. Rotate the control handle to the
BYPASS or OFF position (see
Valve Operations
section).
Press the red pressure-release button to release pressure.
Unscrew the filter canister and discard used filter. Wash the
filter canister with mild soap and water.
Do not
use harsh
cleaners or hot water.
Inspect the filter canister O-ring. Make sure it is lightly
lubricated with clean food-grade silicone grease (silicone
grease is available through GE Parts and Service:
1.800.626.2002, part number WS60S10005). Be sure the
O-ring is seated in the groove. It is recommended that you
replace the O-ring if it is damaged.
Place a new filter cartridge into the canister, making sure it
is centered and completely seated on the bottom seal.
Reinstall the filter canister to the unit. Use the canister
wrench to tighten the canister. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Slowly rotate the control handle to the FILTER position.
Press the red pressure-release button to remove trapped air.
After installation, open any downstream faucet and flush the
cartridge for 15 minutes, wait one hour, then flush again for
15 minutes before using the water.
