Setup and Installation

The Trade-Shop external water filter is designed for simple installation. Please follow your refrigerator's specific instructions for external filter connection, as procedures may vary slightly by model. Generally, the process involves connecting the filter in-line with your refrigerator's water supply hose.

1. Turn off Water Supply: Locate and turn off the main water supply valve to your refrigerator.
2. Disconnect Old Filter (if applicable): If replacing an existing filter, carefully disconnect it, being prepared for minor water spillage.
3. Connect New Filter: Identify the inlet and outlet ports on the new filter. Connect the water supply line to the inlet and the refrigerator's water line to the outlet. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks.
4. Secure Filter: Mount the filter securely in an accessible location, typically behind the refrigerator or inside a cabinet, using appropriate mounting clips if provided.
5. Flush the Filter: Slowly turn on the water supply. Run approximately 4-5 liters of water through the dispenser to flush out any carbon fines and air from the new filter. This may take a few minutes. Discard the flushed water.
6. Check for Leaks: Inspect all connections for any signs of leaks.

Operation

Once installed and flushed, your Trade-Shop external water filter operates automatically. Water flowing to your refrigerator's dispenser and ice maker will pass through the filter, providing continuous access to filtered water and clear ice. No further user interaction is required for daily operation.

Maintenance and Replacement

For optimal performance and water quality, it is crucial to replace your Trade-Shop external water filter regularly. The manufacturer recommends replacing the filter every 6 months or after filtering approximately 3785 liters, whichever comes first. Regular replacement prevents the filter from becoming saturated and ensures consistent water purification.

To replace the filter, follow the installation steps in reverse: turn off the water supply, disconnect the old filter, and install the new one, remembering to flush it thoroughly before use.

Troubleshooting

• Low Water Flow: If water flow from the dispenser is significantly reduced, it may indicate a clogged filter. Replace the filter. Ensure the water supply valve is fully open.
• Bad Taste or Odor: If the water develops an unpleasant taste or odor, the filter may be expired or saturated. Replace the filter immediately. Ensure the filter was properly flushed after installation.
• Leaks: Check all connections for tightness. Ensure O-rings are properly seated and not damaged. If leaks persist, turn off the water supply and re-install the filter, or contact support.
• No Water Dispensed: Verify the water supply is on and the filter is correctly installed. Check for kinks in the water line.
