Lubricating the Diverter Valve

Over time, a diverter valve may lose its lubrication and become more difficult to operate.
To improve the operation, place a small drop of silicone lubricating gel (or petroleum
jelly, e.g. Vaseline®) at the points shown. Then turn the valve handle back and forth
several times to spread the lubricant to all moving parts.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Water is not coming out of the water spout.
• Turn the diverter valve to the proper "on" position.
• Make sure the tubing is smooth and straight, without kinks.
• Inspect the CMF Cartridge as it may have become dirty, preventing water from
flowing properly. If this is the case, clean the cartridge. (See "Cleaning the CMF
Cartridge".)
Water leaks out of the base of the water spout.
• Loosen the Spout Collar and ensure that the spout is properly seated in the filter
outlet.
• Carefully thread the Spout Collar back onto the filter outlet ensuring that the
Spout Collar is parallel to the top of the Filter Cover.
Water leaks out of filter housing.
• Check the filter housing and hand-tighten until water stops leaking.
• If water continues to leak out of the filter housing, follow steps 1 and 2, under
"Cleaning the CMF Cartridge" to drain the filter and unscrew the housing. Check
to make sure the O-ring is properly seated in the housing. A small amount of
silicone lubricating gel (or petroleum jelly) can be applied to the O-ring to help
hold it in place.
NOTE: Do not use vegetable, animal or motor oil.
