Rubbermaid FilterFresh Installation instructions

PLEASE NOTE:
There are two filter designs that are currently in the marketplace. Both function
the same to provide you with great tasting water. The only difference is the way
they fit into the bottle.
If your Filter Fresh bottle came with a filter like this, the filter screws into the
underside of the bottle’s lid:
If your Filter Fresh bottle came with a filter that looks like this, the filter drops
into the bottle and does not need to be screwed into the bottle’s lid:
Before the First Use
It is important to remove any packaging and clean the bottle before use.
To clean the bottle, first remove the filter.
Do not place the filter in the dishwasher.
This item, excluding the filter, is made of materials that are safe for normal
household dishwashers. Be sure that the item is secured in the top rack so

that it does not come in contact with the dishwasher element to avoid
melting
You should also flush the filter with water before you use it for the first time:
Unscrew the filter from the bottle. NOTE: If you have the new filter, simply
turn the bottle upside down and the filter will slide out.
Remove the plastic overwrap from the filter.
Fill the bottle with tap water.
Replace the filter and tighten the lid.
Squeeze the water out of the bottle while holding over a sink or drain.
To track the lifecycle of your filter, use the blue dial on the bottom of your filter.
Turn the dial to the month that you should replace the filter. The filter life is
about 3 months.
Usage
If you purchased your Filter Fresh bottle with the filter screwed on to the
lid, remove the bottle lid with the filter attached. Fill the bottle with tap
water up to the bottom of the blue cuff and then tighten the lid. The water
will be filtered as you drink the water.
If you purchased your Filter Fresh bottle with the filter placed in the bottle,
remove the filter by turning the bottle upside down. Fill the bottle with tap
water up to the bottom of the blue cuff, place the filter back in the bottle,
and then tighten the lid. The water will be filtered as you drink the water.
For best results, squeeze the bottle as you drink from the spout.
To always have cool water ready to drink, fill the bottle with water and store
in your refrigerator.
If you plan on freezing water in your bottle, make sure the filter is not
submerged in the water. Freezing the filter in water will damage the filter.
Please remember to only fill the bottle from safe sources of drinking water.
Now you are ready to enjoy great tasting water with your Rubbermaid Filter
Fresh bottle!
