Setup and Installation

The FRANKE Vital High Flow filter is designed for easy installation and quick replacement. Follow these steps for initial setup or filter replacement.

Required Tools:

• No special tools are typically required for filter replacement.

Installation Steps:

1. Turn off Water Supply: Locate the water supply valve to your kitchen tap and turn it off to prevent water flow during installation.
2. Remove Old Filter (if applicable): If replacing an existing filter, carefully unscrew or unclip the old filter cartridge from its housing. Be prepared for a small amount of residual water to drip out.
3. Prepare New Filter: Unpack a new FRANKE Vital High Flow filter cartridge from its packaging.
4. Insert New Filter: Align the new filter cartridge with the filter housing. Gently push and twist (or screw, depending on your tap model) the filter into place until it is securely seated. Ensure a tight seal to prevent leaks.
5. Restore Water Supply: Slowly turn the water supply valve back on. Check for any leaks around the filter housing.
6. Flush the Filter: Allow water to run through the newly installed filter for several minutes (e.g., 3-5 minutes) to flush out any air bubbles or carbon fines. This ensures optimal performance and taste.

Operating Instructions

Once installed and flushed, the FRANKE Vital High Flow filter operates automatically with your kitchen tap. Simply turn on the tap to dispense filtered water.

Key Features:

• Fastest Flow Rate: Designed to provide filtered water quickly without significantly reducing tap flow.
• Safe and Tasty Water: The 3-stage filtration system effectively reduces impurities, providing clean and great-tasting water.
• Compact Design: Maximum capacity with minimal physical size, integrating seamlessly with your existing tap system.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance, primarily filter replacement, is crucial for optimal performance and water quality.

Filter Replacement:

The filter cartridge should be replaced regularly. The lifespan of the filter depends on water quality and usage, but typically, a filter lasts for approximately 500 liters or until the flow rate significantly decreases, or a red indicator light appears on compatible tap systems.

1. Follow the "Installation Steps" outlined in the Setup and Installation section to replace the filter.
2. Dispose of the used filter cartridge according to local regulations.

Cleaning:

The filter cartridge itself does not require cleaning. The tap and filter housing can be cleaned with mild soap and water as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
