Filter Cartridge Installation or Replacement 1 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*, from the filter head by 2 rotating the sump as shown. 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 3 cartridge. Be sure the inside of the sump is clean. Thoroughly wash the inside of the 4 sump with hot, soapy water and rinse. Remove the wrapper from the new filter cartridge and insert the filter 5 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. See Specification Guidelines for a complete list of filter performance characteristics. Lightly lubricate the o-ring seal in the sump with clean food grade 6 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 7 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 8 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. Turn on the filtered water faucet. Then, slowly open the water supply valve 9 and allow the filter housing to fill. Close the filtered water faucet. Then, check for leaks between the sump 10 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. The filter cartridges contain activated carbon. When new, turn on the 11 filtered water faucet for five minutes to flush the system. *Turn sump wrench tool provided clockwise to remove sump Sump Bracket OUTLET INLET Head Cartridge O-ring seal Sump I Label 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. Flush Procedure 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: n Boil-water advisory. n Flooding of the GE Water Filtration system. n 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 5-10 in the Filter Cartridge Replacement section to complete. 1 2 3 4 Before you call for service… Troubleshooting Tips Save time and money! Review the chart below first and you may not need to call for service. Problem Possible Causes What To Do Water contains tiny black particles New filter cartridges contain activated carbon, which is a harmless black powder. • Turn on the filtered water faucet and allow these harmless carbon particles to purge from the cartridge. Turn off the faucet when the water is clear. Water has air bubbles and is cloudy Air in system after installation. • Will go away after water runs for a while. Chlorine taste and /or odor in the product water The filter cartridge is no longer removing chlorine from the water supply. • Replace filter cartridge. Water dispenses very slowly Filter may have an integral flow restrictor. • A slower flow (approx. 0.6 g/min.) is normal with this style of filter. If flow rate is unacceptable replace the filter with one that does not have an integral flow restrictor. The filter has been installed for too long. • A six-month change-out period is recommended. Replace filter cartridge. The filter cartridge has become clogged. • High sediment levels can cause premature clogging. Replace filter cartridge. Push-in fittings are leaking (GX1S15C) Tubing may not be installed properly. • Fully follow the installation instructions (page 7) and...
