IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Position the filter by holding it against the side of the cabinet wall underneath the sink.
Allow at least 7 1/2" beneath the filter to install cartridge. Determine a desirable location
for the filter installation and inlet connection. Attach the mounting bracket to appropri-
ate mounting bosses on filter head with the self-tapping screws. (Figure 1)
2. Remove drawer from cabinet (if needed) and drill two 7/32" diameter holes through
cabinet wall. Fasten filter to wall with nuts and bolts supplied. Use washers on both
sides of the wall. Mounting to the cabinet side wall gives the filter good, rigid support.

WARNING
To reduce the risk associated with a hazardous voltage due to an
installer drilling through existing electric wiring or water pipes in the
area of installation:
• Do not install near electric wiring or piping which may be in the path of
a drilling tool when selecting the position to mount the fi lter bracket.
NOTICE
To reduce the risk of property damage due to water leakage or
fl ooding:
• Mount fi lter in such a position as to prevent it from being struck by
other items.
• Do not install near water pipes which will be in path of a drilling tool when
selecting the position to mount the bracket.
IMPORTANT NOTES
• Allow a minimum of 7 1/2" (19.5 cm) clear space under fi lter to facilitate
cartridge change.
