• Purge a new filter cartridge before using for
drinking. Run a few gallons of water through
the filter and discard the water to avoid
ingesting carbon dust or particles that may
have been present in the new filter cartridge.
• See “Winterization Procedure” elsewhere in
this section for complete winterizing
instructions.
• When removing the coach from storage,
always disinfect and flush the water system
thoroughly before installing a new filter.
See “Disinfecting Your Fresh Water System”
elsewhere in this section for more
information.
Further Information
Refer to the filter manufacturer’s user guide
provided in your InfoCase for further
information.
ICE MAKER WATER FILTER
–If Equipped
If the refrigerator in your coach is equipped
with an ice maker, an ice maker filter is provided,
which removes chlorine and odors for clean,
taste-free ice cubes.
Replacing the Ice Maker Filter
Cartridge
The filter cartridge must be replaced at least
every 12 months, or when water flow from the
filtered water faucet is too slow for convenience.
• Place a container beneath the filter to catch
any water remaining in the waterlines during
filter removal.
• Twist the filter cartridge counter-clockwise
(to the left) about one-quarter turn, then pull it
down and out of the filter socket. (A spring-
loaded valve inside the filter socket will block
water from flowing out of the socket when the
filter cartridge is removed).
• Insert a new filter cartridge up into the filter
socket as far as possible and twist it clockwise
(to the right) one-quarter turn until it stops.
• Discard the first two batches of ice cubes to
avoid consuming carbon dust or particles that
may have been present in the new filter
cartridge.
• See “Winterization Procedure” at the end of
this section for further information.
NOTE: When removing the coach from storage,
always disinfect and flush the water
system thoroughly before installing a
new filter.
