Installation
So you’ve got your 4396395 fridge filter-now what? The installation process isn’t complicated. The water filter cartridge is typically located in the back upper right corner of the refrigerator compartment. You can release the filter cover in two ways, either pushing a button or pulling forward on a tab release. The filter cover will hang down at an angle when open. To complete the installation process, simply follow these steps:
1.) Remove the old filter cartridge by grasping and gently turning counterclockwise until it releases from the filter head compartment.
2.) Insert the 4396395 filter into the filter head compartment and rotate clockwise until the filter stops.
3.) Close the fridge filter cover
Remember to run water continuously through the filter dispenser for about 4 gallons (approx. 5 mins). This should flush out your new filter and prepare it for use.
Filtration Process
Using a proven scientific filtration method, the 4396395 fridge filter removes undesirable impurities from your home’s tap water. The key ingredient to the filtration process is activated carbon. What is activated carbon? Activated carbon is an extremely porous form of carbon that is exceptional at adsorption. Adsorption is adhesion of atoms, ions, or molecules from a gas, liquid, or dissolved solid to a surface.
The filtration process begins when water from your tap water supply enters your filter through your fridge. Inside the filter, the water gets pushed through an inner chamber filled with activated carbon. The carbon block attracts and captures any unwanted substances that may be present in your tap water supply. Impurities such as cysts, lead, chlorine, mold, and bacteria are held in the carbon block as clean water passes through and is then made available to you in seconds! The end result of this process is crystal clear, better-tasting, healthy drinking water.
Filter Change Reminder
Sometimes it’s easy to forget, but your fridge filter won’t last forever. After continual use, more and more water gets pushed through the filter and the carbon block can begin to degrade. This means that the filter can drop in efficacy and result in a drop in water quality. Along with this, health issues may occur from drinking unfiltered water as well as potential maintenance issues. These problems are easily remedied by making sure to perform routine filter changes at least every six months. This is the surefire way of ensuring that your home is always supplied with clean, healthy water.
