3. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to replace your Moen 601 MicroTech 600 filter:

1. Turn off Water Supply: Locate the cold water supply valve under your sink and turn it off to prevent water flow during installation.
2. Remove Old Filter: Carefully disconnect and remove the used filter cartridge from the faucet system. Be prepared for a small amount of residual water.
3. Install New Filter: Insert the new Moen 601 MicroTech 600 filter into the designated housing. Ensure it is securely seated according to your faucet's specific instructions.
4. Restore Water Supply: Slowly turn the cold water supply valve back on. Check for any leaks around the filter connection points.
5. Flush the System: Run cold water through the filtered side of your faucet for approximately 5 minutes to flush out any air or carbon fines from the new filter.
6. Reset Filter Indicator: For faucets equipped with an indicator light, rapidly tap the faucet's filter button three (3) times to reset the indicator. The light should then display a 'quick green flashes' sequence or turn solid green, indicating a successful reset.

4. Operating Instructions

Once installed and flushed, the Moen 601 MicroTech 600 filter operates automatically with your Moen PureTouch Classic faucet. Simply use your faucet as normal to dispense filtered water. No additional user interaction is required for its filtration function.

5. Maintenance

For optimal performance and water quality, it is recommended to replace the Moen 601 MicroTech 600 filter cartridge every two to three months, or as indicated by your faucet's filter life monitor. Regular replacement ensures consistent filtration effectiveness.

6. Troubleshooting

• Indicator Light Not Resetting: If the faucet's indicator light remains orange or red after filter replacement, ensure you have rapidly tapped the filter button three times. If the issue persists, refer to your specific faucet's user manual or contact Moen customer support.
• Reduced Water Flow: A significant reduction in water flow from the filtered side of the faucet may indicate a clogged filter. Replace the filter if it has been in use for an extended period or if the indicator light suggests replacement.
• Unusual Taste or Odor: If you notice an unusual taste or odor in the filtered water, ensure the filter is correctly installed and has been properly flushed. If the problem continues, replace the filter.
