CONNECT YELLOW TUBE TO WATER SUPPLY
FITTING
1. Locate the yellow tube. One end is attached to the fil-
ter housing. Run the other end to the water supply fit-
ting on the cold water pipe. See Figure 8.
2. Refer to the "Cut Tubes to Length" section, below, and
cut the yellow tube square and to length as needed.
3. Refer to the "Connect Tubes" section, below, and
insert the yellow tube all the way into the 3/8" quick
connect fitting on included water supply fitting
(installed in Step 1).
4. Pull on the tube to be sure it is held firmly in the fit-
ting.
HOW TO CUT AND CONNECT THE TUBES
Your Advanced Two-Stage Drinking Water Filter
includes push-in fittings for quick tubing connection.
Review the following before connecting the tubes.
Cut tubes to length
1. Use a sharp cutter or knife to cut the end of tubing.
Always cut the tubing square. See Figure 9.
2. inspect the end (about 1") of the tubing to be sure
there are no nicks, scratches or other rough spots, if
needed, cut the tubing again.
Connect tubes
1. Push tubing through collet, until it engages the o-ring.
See Figure 10. Continue pushing until the tube bot-
toms out against the back of the fitting. See Figure 11.
A common mistake is to stop pushing when the tube
engages the o-ring. This will lead to future leaks.
When a 3/8" tube is fully engaged, 3/4" of the tube has
entered the fitting. See Figures 10 & 11.
2. if using tubing other than tubing supplied with the
system, be sure it is of high quality, exact size and
roundness with a smooth surface.
Disconnect Tubes
1. Push the collet inward with a finger tip. See Figure 12.
2. Continue holding collet inward while pulling the tub-
ing out. See Figure 13.

FAUCET ELECTRONICS
inside the faucet base is a battery operated 6 month
timer. See Figure 14.
An amber LED indicator is also located in the front of
the faucet base. This LED will flash continuously after 6
months has passed. This indicates that it is time to
replace the battery and filter cartridges.
CHANGE BATTERY
To change (or install) the battery, complete the following
steps.
1. Loosen the screw on the right side of the faucet base
See Figure 14.
2. Press the battery housing upwards from the front
faucet base until it releases from the faucet base. See
Figure 14.
3. Replace (or install) the battery (Maxell CR 2032 or
equivalent). Place battery into the holder with the
positive (+) side facing the back of the holder.
4. When the battery is first replaced it will flash six times
and turn off. This indicates the battery is fully
charged. After the six flashes, the timer enters the 6
month time cycle.
NOTE: If the LED repeatedly flashes just two times, it is
not a fully charged battery and will need to be replaced.
5. Re-install the timer housing and firmly tighten the
mounting screw. See Figure 14.
FILTER CARTRIDGE LIFE
it is recommended to replace the battery and filter car-
tridges every 6 months of use. There are several vari-
ables that determine how long a cartridge will last.
These include:
1. How much water you use, and
2. How much sediment, taste and/or odor, or other
unwanted substances, are in the water.
Use the following information as a guide. However no
matter which type of cartridge you are using, you will
know it is time to replace it when you first notice the
return of unwanted substances in your water.

HAGA EL ORIFICIO PARA EL GRIFO
IMPORTANTE: Se necesita un orificio de 1-1/4 pulg. (32 ram)
para montar el grifo de agua f!ltrada. Consulte a un plomero o
instalador calificado sobre los procedimientos de peu_oraci6n en
porcelana o acero inoxidable para evitar dafiar el yS'egadero.
1. Seleccione una de las siguientes opciones para instalar el
grifo. Cerci6rese de que haya suficiente espacio debajo del fre-
gadero para las conexiones necesarias.
® Use un orificio existente para manguera de rociador o
dispensador de jab6n llquido (debe tener 1-1/4 pulg.
[32 mm] de di_metro).
® Haga un nuevo orificio en la parte superior del fregadero.
® Haga un orificio en la encimera junto al fregadero.
2. Compruebe que la base del grifo de agua filtrada quede bien
asentada contra la superficie de montaje.
3. Si es necesario taladrar, haga un orificio de 1-1/4 pulg.
(32 mm) de di_metro, como mlnimo, sobre la superficie de
montaje para el grifo.
INSTALE LA BASE DEL GRIFO
1. Encuentre la base del grifo (vea la Fig. 5) y haga pasar los per-
nos de palanca hacia abajo por el orificio hasta que la base del
grifo se apoye horizontalmente sobre la superficie de montaje
(el fregadero o la encimera).
La empaquetadura de caucho debe quedar entre la base del
grifo y la superficie de montaje.
2. Apriete los pernos de palanca hasta que la base del grifo
quede firmemente montada sobre la superficie. No apriete
excesivamente.
CONECTE EL TUBO AZUL AL GRIFO
1. Coloque la caja del filtro avanzado de dos etapas para agua
potable debajo del fregadero. Puede apoyarse verticalmente o
sobre un costado.
2. Encuentre el tubo azul. Un extremo se acopla a la caja del ill-
fro. Haga pasar el otro extremo hacia arriba por el orificio de
montaje y la base del grifo. Vea la Figura 6.
3. Consulte la secci6n titulada "Corte los tubos a la medida"
en la p_gina 8, y corte el tubo azul en _ngulo recto yen la lon-
gitud necesaria, dejando aproximadamente 6 pulgadas
(15 cm) por encima de la base del grifo.
4. Encuentre el grifo. Consulte la secci6n titulada "Conecte los
tubos" en la p_gina 8 e inserte totalmente el tubo azul en la
uni6n de conexi6n r_pida de 3/8 pulg. de la parte inferior del
grifo.
5. Tire del tubo para comprobar que quede firmemente acopla-
do a la uni6n.
INSTALE EL GRIFO SOBRE LA BASE
1. Apoye el grifo sobre la base. Vea la Figura 7.
2. Haga girar el grifo 1/4 de vueha a la derecha para acoplarlo a
la base.
3. Instale la baterla en la base del grifo. (Consulte la secci6n titu-
lada "Cambie la baterla" en la p5gina 9.) Luego prosiga con el
Paso 3 de la instalaci6n en la p5gina 8.

CONECTE EL TUBO AMARILLO A LA UNION PARA
SUMINISTRO DE AGUA
1. Encuentre el tubo amarillo. Un extremo se acopla a la caja
del filtro. Tienda el otro extremo hasta la uni6n para sumin-
istro de agua en la tuberla de agua frla. Vea la
Figura 8.
2. Consulte mils abajo la secci6n titulada "Corte los tubos a la
medida", y corte el tubo amarillo en fingulo recto yen la lon-
gitud necesaria.
3. Consulte mils abajo la secci6n titulada "Conecte los tubos",
e inserte totalmente el tubo amarillo en la uni6n de conexi6n
rfipida de 3/8 pulg. de la uni6n para suministro de agua
(instalada en el Paso 1).
4. Tire del tubo para comprobar que quede firmemente acopla-
do a la uni6n.
COMO CORTAR Y CONECTAR LOS TUBOS
E1filtro avanzado de dos etapas para agua potable incluye
uniones de presi6n para la conexi6n rlpida de los tubos. Antes
de conectar los tubos, examine las siguientes instrucciones.
Corte los tubos a la medida
1. Use un cortador o cuchfllo ffloso para cortar el extremo del
tubo. Siempre corte el tubo en ingulo recto. Vea la Figura 9.
2. Inspeccione el extremo del tubo (aproximadamente de
1 pulg. o 25 mm) para cerciorarse de que no haya mellas, ras-
paduras ni ninguna otra secci6n despareja. Si es necesario,
vuelva a cortar el tubo.
Conecte los tubos
1. Haga pasar el tubo por el collarin, hasta que se acople al aro
t6rico. Vea la Figura 10. Siga empujando el tubo hasta que
sobresalga por la parte posterior de la uni6n. Vea la Figura 11.
Un error comdn es dejar de empujar cuando el tubo se
acopla al aro t6rico. Eso producirl fugas en el futuro.
Cuando un tubo de 3/8 pulg. estl totalmente acoplado,
3/4 pulg. del tubo ha entrado en la uni6n. Vea las Figuras 10
y11.
2. Si usa algdn tubo que no es el incluido en el sistema, cer-
ci6rese de que sea de alta calidad, de exactamente el mismo
tamafio y redondez, y que la superficie sea lisa.
Desconecte los tubos
1. Empuje el collarln hacia dentro con la punta de un dedo.
Vea la Figura 12.
2. Siga manteniendo el collarln apretado hacia dentro mientras
tira del tubo hacia fuera. Vea la Figura 13.
