Specification guidelines. www.GEAppliances.com
Many bad tastes and/or odors are removed from water using activated carbon
filter cartridges. They are most often used to remove a chlorine taste and odor.
They can also reduce other undesirable elements from drinking water supplies,
such as organic chemical contaminants and lead.
NOTE: Small amounts of hydrogen sulfide (noticeable as “rotten egg” odor) may
be reduced by taste and odor filters for a short time, but the carbon media is
quickly exhausted. Other water conditioning equipment is usually required for
the continuous treatment of hydrogen sulfide.

Depending on the treatment needed for a specific water supply, the water filtration system
can be customized using any combination of the preceding filter cartridge sets.
The Water Filtration system uses two filter cartridges.
This system conforms to ANSI/NSF 42 and 53 for the specific performance
claims as verified and sustained by test data.

About the water filtration system.
Using the Water Filtration System and About the Filter Cartridge
The countertop faucet dispenses filtered drinking water when opened.
It has a hand-operated, spring-loaded closed lever to prevent waste. You can
keep the faucet open by pushing upward on the lever to lock it against the
faucet spout.
Filter Cartridge Life – Several variables determine how long the cartridges
will last in your Water Filtration system. These include:
How much water you use.
How much sediment, taste and/or odor, lead or other unwanted substance
is in the water.
No matter which Water Filtration system you have, you should replace the
cartridges every six months, when indicated by the electronic indicator light
on the base. In extremely poor water supplies, you may notice the return of
the unwanted substance in your water before the six months are up. In this
case the cartridges should be replaced immediately. If the system is also for
lead or chemical contaminant removal, it is MORE IMPORTANT to replace the
cartridges at least every six months.
NOTE: If the water supply contains high amounts of sediments, the carbon
filters may plug prematurely, reducing filtered water flow to the system faucet.
Cartridge replacement is needed to restore flow.
Electronic Indicator Light (GXSV10C only) – The electronic indicator light on the
base of the faucet is a six-month timer that shows you when to replace the
filter cartridges. When the battery pack is first installed, the indicator light will
light briefly to show that the electronics are operating. If this does not happen,
the batteries may be installed backwards or the lead wires are not connected.
After about six months, the indicator light begins to flash. It is time to replace
the filter cartridges. When replacing the filter cartridges, also replace the
batteries in the battery pack. Two AA batteries are required.

Tubing Connections – Push-In Style
(Models GXSL03C [rev. 2] and GXSV10C)
Run the length of the 3⁄8″tubing, connected to the bottom of the faucet,
to the filter system outlet (illustration above). Allow enough slack in the
tubing so that the unit can be easily removed.
Measure and cut the end of the tubing square using a sharp cutter or
knife. Remove any burrs (illustration A).
Inspect the end of the tubing, about 1 inch, to be sure there are no
imperfections. It may be necessary to cut the tubing again.
Mark the tubing for length of insertion. For 3/8″OD tubing the insertion
length should be approximately 3/4 of an inch. Tubing must be fully
inserted to avoid leaks.
DO NOT REMOVE GRAY COLLET. Push the tubing all the way into the fitting
until it bottoms out. The insertion line should be hidden or barely visible
(illustration B and C). Slightly pull on the tubing to verify engagement.
Repeat the procedure to connect the tubing between the filter system
inlet and the water supply/saddle valve (illustration in the Installation
Overview section).
To remove tubing (illustration D), depress and hold gray collet.
Pull tubing to remove.
NOTE: Avoid installing the unit where the tubing is pulled at a sharp angle.
This type of installation may cause the fittings to leak. If using tubing other
than what is supplied, be sure it is high quality, exact size and roundness, and
has a smooth surface.

About the water filtration system.
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
Installation Overview section for location of the water supply valve.)
Open the filtered water faucet.
Remove the sump, using the sump wrench tool provided, from the filter
head by rotating the sump as shown in the below illustration. 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 filter
cartridge.
Be sure the inside of the sump is clean. Thoroughly wash the inside of
the sump with hot, soapy water and rinse.
Remove the wrapper from the new filter cartridge and insert the filter
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. Filter I cartridge should always
be placed in the Filter I sump. Filter II cartridge should always be placed in
the Filter II sump. See page 3 for a complete list of filter performance
characteristics.

Lightly lubricate the o-ring seal in the sump with clean food-grade
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
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
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.
Repeat steps 2 through 8 for the Filter II cartridge in the Filter II sump.

Whenever water of unknown quality is passed through the GE Water Filtration
system, filter elements should be discarded and the filtration system flushed.
Circumstances that may require flushing the system are:
■Boil-water advisory.
■Flooding of the GE Water Filtration system.
■Long-term non-use.
The procedure for flushing the GE Water Filtration system is:
See Filter Cartridge Replacement section and follow steps 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Next, reinstall the sumps (without the filter elements), turn water on and
flush water through the faucet for one minute.
Then, turn water off, remove sumps, empty water out of sumps and install
new filter elements.
Follow steps 5–11 in the Filter Cartridge Replacement section to complete.

Turn on the filtered water faucet. Then, slowly open the water
supply/saddle valve and allow the filter housing to fill.
Close the filtered water faucet. Then, check for leaks between the sump
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.
If you are replacing the batteries, remove, properly discard and install
two new AA alkaline batteries in the battery pack. Removing the batteries
or momentarily disconnecting the lead wires resets the six-month
electronic timer. It is recommended that you change your batteries at
least once a year.
The filter cartridges contain activated carbon. When new, turn on the
filtered water faucet for ten minutes to flush the system.
Place filter change label on sump, inside cabinet door, or in another
convenient location. Write in date of filter change for future reference.
Filters should be changed every six months.

Spécifications. www.GEAppliances.com
Des cartouches de filtration au charbon actif permettent d’éliminer de l’eau
des composés responsables de goûts ou odeurs désagréables. On utilise
fréquemment ces filtres pour éliminer les goûts et odeurs imputables au
chlore. Les filtres permettent également de réduire la concentration d’autres
éléments indésirables dans l’eau de consommation, comme composés
organiques et plomb.
NOTE : Les filtres pour goûts et odeurs peuvent supprimer pendant quelque
temps de petites quantités de sulfure d’hydrogène (responsable d’une odeur
caractéristique d’oeufs pourris), mais le charbon actif s’épuise rapidement.
Pour l’élimination en permanence du sulfure d’hydrogène, on doit utiliser
un autre équipement de conditionnement de l’eau.

On peut personnaliser un système de filtration d’eau au moyen de toute combinaison
des cartouches de filtration mentionnées ci-dessus, selon le traitement nécessaire pour
une eau particulière.
Le système de filtration de l’eau met en œuvre deux cartouches de filtration.
Ce système se conforme aux normes ANSI/NSF 42 et 53 pour les demandes
spécifiques de rendement telles que vérifiées et obtenues par des données
d’essais.

Description sommaire du système de filtration d’eau.
Utilisation du système de filtration, et description des cartouches
de filtration
Le robinet installé sur le plan de travail d’une cuisine permet de puiser
de l’eau de consommation filtrée. Il comporte une manette à manoeuvre
manuelle chargée par ressort, qui permet la fermeture automatique. Pour
maintenir le robinet ouvert, pousser la manette vers le haut pour la mettre
en appui contre le col de cygne.
Longévité de la cartouche de filtration – La longévité en service de la cartouche
de filtration dépend de divers paramètres, comme les suivants :
Volume de consommation d’eau.
Quantité dans l’eau de sédiments, composés responsables de goûts et/ou odeurs,
plomb et autres substances indésirables.
Quel que soit le système de filtration utilisé, on doit remplacer les cartouches
de filtration à intervalles de six mois, lorsque l’illumination du témoin
électronique sur la base indique que ceci est nécessaire. Si l’eau traitée est
de très médiocre qualité, on peut observer la réapparition de substances
indésirables dans l’eau avant l’expiration d’une période de six mois. Dans
ce cas on doit immédiatement remplacer les cartouches de filtration. Si le
système est utilisé également pour l’élimination du plomb et de contaminants
chimiques, il est PLUS IMPORTANT de remplacer les cartouches à intervalles
de six mois ou moins.
NOTE : Si l’eau traitée contient une quantité élevée de sédiments les filtres à
charbon peuvent s’obstruer prématurément, ce qui réduit le débit d’eau
filtrée au niveau du robinet de puisage. On doit remplacer les cartouches pour
rétablir le débit usuel.
Témoin électronique (GXSV10C seulement) – Le témoin lumineux situé sur
la base du robinet est associé à un circuit électronique comportant une
minuterie (mesure d’une période de six mois); le témoin s’illumine pour
indiquer qu’il est temps de remplacer les cartouches de filtration. Lors de
l’installation initiale des piles, le témoin s’illumine brièvement pour indiquer
que les circuits électroniques sont opérationnels; s’il ne s’illumine pas, c’est
probablement parce que les piles sont installées à l’envers, ou parce que des
fils ne sont pas connectés.
Après environ six mois de service, le témoin lumineux commence à clignoter;
il est temps de remplacer les cartouches de filtration. Lors du remplacement
des cartouches de filtration, remplacer également les piles. On doit utiliser
deux piles AA.
