It is essential that the manufacturer's recommended installation, maintenance and filter replacement requirements be carried out for the product to perform as
advertised. See Installation Manual for Warranty information.
Note: While the testing was performed under standard laboratory
conditions, actual performance may vary. Contaminant reduction
testing is conducted every five years by certifying agency to
maintain certification.
Replacement Cartridge: MWF. For estimated costs of replacement
elements please visit our website at geapplianceparts.com.
WARNING
To reduce the risk associated with ingestion of contaminants:
• Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of
unknown quality without adequate disinfection before and
after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be
used on disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts.
Tested and certified by NSF International against
NSF/ANSI Standard 42 and Standard 53 in model
GE Appliances MWF for the reduction of the
claims specified on the performance data sheet.

NOTICE
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to
water leakage:
• Read and follow use instructions before installation and use of
this system.
• Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local
plumbing codes.
• Do not install if water pressure exceeds 120 psi (8.2 bar). If
your water pressure exceeds 80 psi (5.5 bar), you must install a
pressure-limiting valve. Contact a plumbing professional if you
are uncertain how to check your water pressure.
• Do not install where water hammer conditions may occur. If
water hammer conditions exist you must install a water hammer
arrester. Contact a plumbing professional if you are uncertain
how to check for this condition.
• Do not install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating
water temperature of this filter system is 100º F (38º C).
• Protect filter from freezing. Drain filter when temperatures drop
below 33ºF (0.6ºC).
• The disposable filter cartridge should be replaced every 6
months at the rated capacity, or sooner if a noticeable reduction
in flow rate occurs.
