To reset the filter change icon
We recommend the water filter be used from the time of installation, and the change 
filter icon be reset only when a replacement is installed. Do not reset the change filter 
icon before the filter is changed or the filter monitoring will be inaccurate.
To reset, press the   and   buttons for 4 seconds on the internal control panel. 
The filter icon   on the internal control panel and/or external display will no longer 
illuminate.
To disable the filter change icon
If the change filter icon is disabled you will not be reminded of when to next change your 
filter cartridge. We only recommend disabling this function when no filter cartridge is fitted.
To disable, press the  ,   and   buttons for 4 seconds. 
We recommend that you do not disable the filter change icon if you have a filter 
cartridge fitted to the connection.
IMPORTANT!
The rate of water flow through the water dispenser can slow down as the filter 
cartridge accumulates any sediment which may be present in the water supplied to 
your home. This varies depending upon your local water quality, which may require 
your filter cartridge to be changed more frequently.
In cases of excessively reduced filter life we recommend that you consult a local 
plumber or your water supplier for advice on suitable filtration requirements for the 
water supplied to your home.
Filter replacement is the consumer’s responsibility and will not be covered by the 
Manufacturer’s Warranty except in the case of faulty parts or materials within the 
filtercartridge.
If the water has not been dispensed for some time or water has an unpleasant taste or 
odor, flush system by dispensing 4qt (4L) of water.
If unpleasant taste or odor persists, you may wish to fit a new filter cartridge.
