Installation and Start-up
1. Isolate water supply to kitchen mixer tap. Turn on kitchen mixer tap to release any pressure and make sure water has stopped
- Before proceeding to the next step.
2. Find a convenient location for the filter system under the sink, taking into consideration ease of access for servicing, filter replacement and best use of cupboard space.
3. Locate the isolation valve on the existing cold feed, then you can simply screw on fitting provided to the isolation valve.
4. Screw on the fitting provided onto braided pipe which is connected to the mixer tap.
Connecting system for use
- Locate Suction Bracket and Sticky Acrylic Disk provided in front zip of carry bag.
- Peel off both sides of film on Acrylic Disk. (one side is sticky the other is for the suction Bracket to stick on).
- Stick Acrylic Disk on back of the Cupboard where filter will be hung.
- Stick Suction Bracket onto Acrylic Disk. (Using the Tab on Bracket to lock it in place)
- Take Frontline 4 Stage Filter out of carry bag.
- Spot one of the pre-cut water lines, push water line into fitting which has been screwed onto isolation valve. Insert tubing firmly into quick connector. This will connect to the inlet of the filter marked on the top of filter housing.
- Spot the other pre-cut water line, install it to the fitting connected to the Braided tap line. Insert tubing firmly into quick connector. Connect the other end to the outlet of the system marked on filter head.
- After all tubing has been connected. Check from the isolation valve to the inlet side of the system and from the outlet side to the mixer tap connection, make sure everything is pushed in firmly. Place the mixer tap on the cold side and in the open position, slowly open the isolation valve. This will allow any air to escape. (Check for leaks and adjust if necessary).
