4. Mounting the Filter System

A. Select a location under the sink to mount the filter assembly. Choose a location

where the filter will be easily accessible.

NOTE: Allow 1

⁄2-inches (38 mm) clearance below housing or 12-inch (305 mm) below

filter head to enable filter cartridge changes.

NOTE: Filter head should be mounted in vertical position, use mounting bracket as a

template to mark screw locations. Mount filter head in marked location using screws.

Filter head should be mounted on a stud or firm surface. The mounting

bracket will support the weight of the filter and help prevent strain on the cold water

line.

B. If filter assembly is mounted on a side wall next to drawers, remove drawers.

Cabinet wall may be too thin to support filter assembly. We recommend that a

3" x 3" x 1/2" wood block be used on the back side of the cabinet to allow the

screws to penetrate through the cabinet and into the wood block. This will allow

the filter assembly to be fully supported. Using the filter head assembly as a tem-

plate, drill two 1/4-inch holes in the side wall. Position the block of wood behind

these two holes and drill two 1/8-inch holes into the block. Use the two screws

provided to mount filter assembly head to side wall and on the block of wood.

5. Connecting the Supply Adapter and Inlet of Filter

A. Determine the length of plastic tubing needed to connect the inlet (left) side of the

filter with the supply adapter. Be sure to allow enough tubing to prevent kinking

and cut the tubing squarely. Place a mark 5/8-inch (16 mm) from both ends of

the tubing.

B. Wet tubing with water and insert into the supply adapter, 5/8-inch (16 mm) until

mark is flush with fitting.

C. Wet tubing with water and insert into the filter inlet, 5/8-inch (16 mm) until mark

is flush with fitting.

NOTE: Disconnecting the Tubing from the Quick-Connect Fittings. Routine maintenance

and cartridge replacement will not require that you disconnect the tubing from the filter

system; however, tubing may be quickly and easily removed from the fitting if neces-

sary. First, turn off the water supply to the filter. Open faucet, then press in the grey

collar around the fitting while pulling the tubing with your other hand.

6. Connecting the Faucet

Do not over-tighten compression nut. Use caution not to bend or crimp

tubes when securing.

A. Determine the length of plastic tubing needed to connect the outlet (right) side of

the filter with the faucet. Cut the tubing squarely.

Do not bend or crimp tube when inserting.

B. Slide plastic compression nut

over tubing followed by the ferrule

, make

sure the ferrule is oriented properly, then place insert

into the end of tubing.

C. Push the tubing firmly into the end of the faucet stem

and hand-tighten the

compression nut onto threads until secure. Then tighten approximately 1/2 turn

with a wrench.

D. Remove spare battery from side of filter cartridge and put inside the slot

just

below the Culligan logo. Once the battery is inserted correctly, the LED will blink

red for about 30 seconds then it will shut off. To indicate the filter needs to be

changed within the next 30 days, it will flash yellow. When the filter needs to be

changed immediately, it will flash red. The battery will need to be changed every

time a filter is changed.

7. Installing the Cartridge

Hold cartridge from the bottom when installing or changing the cartridge. Use caution

not to scrape knuckles on bracket when locking the cartridge into place. Line up the

arrow on the cartridge with unlocked padlock symbol on head. Insert cartridge and turn

arrow to locked padlock symbol. See the diagrams in Filter Cartridge Replacement on

page 4.
