Franke FRCNSTR Manuel De Montage

The filter cartridge needs to be changed every six months. At this stage the  

'Matrix' core begins to lose its effectiveness against chlorine and other chemi-

cals. This normally coincides with a visible reduction in the pure water flow,  

as the ceramic shell begins to clog with contaminants.

1. Shut-off the mains water supply. A stop valve was supplied with the system           

    for this purpose, and will be found located on the adjacent pipework.

2. Turn the Pure lever on the faucet to the ON position. This will confirm that  

    the water supply is turned off, and release the pressure in the system.

3. Conveniently position a suitable receptacle to catch residual water from  

    the housing. Lift the filter unit from its retaining bracket. Holding Cap 'B'  

    press down on the safety clip and unsrew Housing 'A' a quarter turn in  

    the direction of the arrow shown. Slide housing off of filter cartridge and  

    place to one side. 

4. Hold the Cap 'B' firmly with one hand, unscrew the Cartridge 'C'. Discard  

    the old cartridge with your household waste, either wrapped in newspaper,  

    or placed in a polythene bag. 

5. Wash Housing 'A' in warm soapy water, then rinse well.

6. Wet the two 'O' seals 'D' on the threaded end of the new cartridge, then  

    screw it firmly into the female thread in the Cap 'B'. 

Please note: The cartridge is fragile and may break if mishandled or dropped.

7. Fit Cap 'B' and Housing 'A' back together and turn a quarter turn in the  

    opposite direction of the arown shown to lock.

8. Replace the unit on the bracket and turn on the water supply.

9. Run the filtered water for 2 minutes to flush the system, and check carefully  

    for leaks. The system should now be ready for use. 

If you plan to be away from home for extended periods, or the filter housing may 

be subject to the risk of freezing, carry out the procedures 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 as 

above.

When the risk of freezing subsides and you wish to use the system again, open 

the mains supply to the filter. Run the filtered water for 2 minutes to flush the 

system and check carefully for leaks. The system should now be ready for use.
