Notes

• Cartridges may contain a very small amount of carbon fines (very fine black powder).
• After installation, follow instructions for flushing the cartridge to remove fines before using the water. It is recommended to flush the tap at least 20 seconds prior to using water for drinking or cooking purposes, particularly if the tap has not been used daily.
