to drain completely (this takes several minutes).
2. Place a dry towel under unit. ReInove lhe clmnp retainers and
clamp sections frol]l top of unit.
3. Lift the Rever_ Osmosis cap slraJght tip (a slight resistance
is normal) froIn the Reverse Osmosis housing (no need to
discormect lubing) and move aside.
NOTE:If the cap o-dog seal remained in the ROhousing,replace it
onthe cap.
4. Remove the ROcartridge and outer prefilter cartridge from 1he
