1. Allowing some slack, measure and cut a length of 1/4"
tubing to connect between the supply fitting and the
filter system inlet (See Figure 1). Use a sharp cutter or
knife to cut the end of tubing square.

Cut tubing square with end of tubing round,
smooth, with no cuts, nicks or flat spots.

in the filter.

1. Close the nearest shutoff valve on the water supply to
the filter. To relieve pressure in the filter, open the filtered water faucet.
2. Turn the sump off of the filter head, to the left. Be
careful, as the sump is full of water. Do not lose the
large o-ring seal.
NOTE: A special wrench is included for removing the
sump. See the parts list on page 10. Use only the
included wrench on the sump (or loosen and tighten the
sump by hand).
3. if replacing the filter cartridge, remove used cartridge
from sump and use warm, soapy water to clean sump.
4. Remove the wrapper from the new filter cartridge
and, with clean or gloved hands, insert the filter cartridge into the sump. Some cartridges fit turned either
way, while others fit only one way: Check the cartridge to see if orientation is indicated.
5. When changing filter, lightly lubricate the o-ring seal
in the sump with silicone grease. Be sure the o-ring is
fully seated in the groove.
6. Hold the sump up to the filter head, and align the center hole in the cartridge with the protrusion on the
bottom of the head.
NOTE: if the sump will not tighten up to the head by
hand, you may have the cartridge in upside down or
misaligned.
Take the cartridge out and check for correct
orientation.
7. Being careful not to overtighten or cross-thread,
turn
the sump to the right onto the filter head and tighten
securely by hand. Make sure to check for leaks, as
described below.
8. Open the filtered water faucet. Slowly open the water
supply shutoff valve and allow the filter housing to
fill. Close the filtered water faucet.

Leaks may not be immediately
visible. Check periodically for the next 24 hours.
NOTE: If a leak occurs, turn off the water supply and
open the filtered water faucet to depressurize
the filter.
Disassemble the filter and check the o-ring and sealing
surface for cuts, flat spots, or foreign material. Clean the
o-ring and lubricate with silicone grease. Carefully press
o-ring into the groove in the sump.
10. if using a Taste and Odor Cartridge:
A taste and
odor cartridge contains activated carbon, a black
powder. After the new cartridge is installed, open
the filtered water faucet and allow carbon particles to
purge from the cartridge.
Close the faucet when you
no longer see "fines" (discoloration)
in the filtered
water, or after approximately
2 - 3 minutes.

Kenmore Undersink Water Filter Housing System model
625.384540 with replacement filter 42-34373 has been
tested and certified by NSF International
for the reduction of chlorine, taste and odors. The rated capacity for
this system is 4500 gallons.
Other filter cartridges are available from Sears to remove
sediments, tastes and odors. Consult your Sears store.
Taste and Odor Cartridges: Many bad tastes and/or
odors are removed from water by an activated carbon
cartridge,
it is most often used to remove chlorine taste
and smell.
NOTE: Small amounts of hydrogen sulfide (noticeable
as "rotten egg" odor) may be reduced by taste and odor
filters for a short time, quickly exhausting the carbon
media. Consult your Sears store for proper continuous
treatment.
