How It Works
Caution
The Amana® water filtration system provides water treatment with a revolutionary 2-stage design.
To avoid property damage, observe the following: • Confirm water pressure to water valve is at least 35 pounds per square inch (PSIG) (244 Kilopascals). • Confirm water pressure to water valve does not exceed 120 PSIG (828 Kilopascals). • Do not install water filtration system on a hot water line or in direct sunlight. • Maximum operating temperature is 125°F (52°C). • Confirm rated service flow is 0.6 gallons per minute (GPM) (2.3 liters per minute). • Check carefully for water leaks after water filter installation and 24 hours after installation. • Water filtration system is not to be installed in conjunction with another water filtration system, such as a reverse osmosis filter.
• Removes sediment particles down to 1/2 micron in size. • Reduces more than 90% of lead. • Reduces more than 99% of chlorine. • Removes more than 99.99% of Cryptosporidium. • Removes more than 99.99% of Giardia. • Removes bad tastes and odors. In first stage of treatment, a special filtration media reduces excess rust, dirt, sand, and chlorine. In second stage of treatment a solid carbon block reduces waterborne, disease-causing protozoa, such as cryptosporidium and giardia, and reduces lead, chlorine, bad taste, and odor. The Amana® water filtration system reduces sediments in your water supply before they reach your refrigerator. This extends the life of ice maker components.
Important • Amana recommends having your water supply tested for sediment content prior to water filtration system installation. • To prevent high sediment content in water supply from causing water filtration system prematurely reaching its capacity, a prefilter is available, part #R0185009. • Installation is to be performed after water line to refrigerator has been installed. • Verify water pressure is at least 35 PSIG, before installing water filter. • These installation instructions are intended for application with refrigerator only. • Amana recommends having plumber install water filtration system according to local codes. 1. Choose location of water filtration system. • To remove tubing from quick connect fittings hold collet in and pull tube out. Do not attempt to turn fittings when removing tubing.
Caution To avoid personal injury or property damage do not use water filter where the water is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after filter.
Safety Instructions Recognize this symbol as a safety precaution. WARNING To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe personal injury or death, disconnect power to refrigerator before installing water filtration system. After installing system, reconnect power. 3
Procedure
Parts List
1. Water filtration system is designed to be installed vertically in waterline between supply line and refrigerator. Beneath a countertop or kitchen sink,
Verify all listed parts are included in kit. If parts are missing, contact source from whom kit was purchased. • Head assembly—R0185008 Included in head assembly: 4 screws, 2 wall anchors ¼" quick connect fittings—R0185030 "O" rings—R0185015 • 6 mm (black) quick connect fittings—R0185031 • Multistage filtration cartridge—R0185014 • Installation and Operating Instructions • Product Registration Card
Materials Required Important • Amana recommends using 1/4" O.D. flexible copper tubing to connect household plumbing to refrigerator. Do not use self-piercing valve. Amana is not responsible for property damage due to improper installation or water connection.
or on a floor joist in your basement.
2. Turn off water supply. 3. Place mounting bracket in desired location. Allow a minimum of 14" (356 mm) beneath mounting bracket and 3" (76 mm) on either side of bracket for cartridge installation and replacement. Mark location of mounting bracket holes with pencil. 4. If wall anchors are needed drill 3/16" (5 mm) pilot holes, 1" (25 mm) deep. Push plastic wall anchors into holes . 5. Insert and tighten screws to secure bracket.
4
Replacing Cartridges 6. Cut refrigerator cold water supply line where water filtration system will be located. If you have 6 mm supply line, remove 1/4” quick connect fittings and use 6 mm quick connect fittings. 7. Slide inlet into quick connect fitting until tubing stops, approximately 1/2" (13 mm). 8. Flush cartridge by removing filter cartridge from cartridge head, shutting off water flow at inlet fitting. Turn on water supply at water valve. Place bucket next to outlet fitting on cartridge head to catch water. Replace cartridge and run approximately 1 quart of water through water filtration system. Remove cartridge from cartridge head and turn off water at water valve. Replace cartridge. 9. Slide outlet tube into quick connect fitting until tubing stops, approximately 1/2" (13 mm).
Cartridge needs to be replaced after 800 gallons of water (3028 liters) or 1 year of use, whichever comes first. Local water quality may affect rated life of filter. • To reorder filter (part #R0185014) contact Amana Consumer Affairs 1/800-843-0304. 1. Protect floor from possible water spill. 2. Turn cartridge counterclockwise until cartridge stops. 3. Pull cartridge down and discard. 4. Write date of installation on replacement cartridge. 5 . Fill replacement cartridge with water. Dump water out of cartridge and refill. 6. Place cartridge full of water under cartridge head. 7. Push new cartridge into head. 8. Turn cartridge clockwise until cartridge stops. 9. Discard first 3 batches of ice after replacing cartridge.
Caution Do not use water filtration system if cartridge has been allowed to freeze or has not been used for several months. Filtration ability will be decreased. Replace cartridge.
Troubleshooting • Cloudy or colored water. Cloudy appearance in filtered water is caused by air bubbles trapped in water. This does not affect cartridge performance and will disappear with use. • Flakes in cold water or ice. Concentrations of minerals in water will form particles when water becomes frozen and melts. Particles are not harmful. • Slow water flow rate. Cartridge has reached its capacity. Replace cartridge. • Unusual taste. Cartridge has reached its capacity. Replace cartridge. • Black particles in ice cubes. Initial water ejected through cartridge may contain black particles which are caused by harmless carbon dust being flushed from cartridge. Particles are safe for consumption.
10. Turn on water supply. Correct any leaks. Important • Initial cubes may be small or irregular in size until air is expelled from system. • Discard first 3 batches of ice after connecting water filtration system to water supply. • If installed to water dispenser, flush several glasses of water before use.
