Safety Guides  
Read all steps and guides carefully before installing  
and using your Advanced Two-Stage Drinking Water  
Filter. Follow all steps exactly to correctly install.  
Reading this manual will also help you to get all the  
benefits from the Advanced Two-Stage Drinking  
Water Filter.  
The Advanced Two-Stage Drinking Water Filter works  
on water pressures of 30 psi (minimum) to 125 psi  
(maximum). If your house water pressure is over the  
maximum, install a pressure reducing valve in the  
water supply pipe to the Advanced Two-Stage  
Drinking Water Filter.  
Do not attempt to use this product to make safe  
drinking water from non-potable water sources. Do  
not use the system on microbiologically unsafe water,  
or water of unknown quality without adequate disin-  
fection before or after the system. This system is certi-  
fied for cyst reduction and may be used on disinfec-  
ted water that may contain filterable cysts.  
Do not install the Advanced Two-Stage Drinking  
Water Filter outside, or in extreme hot or cold temper-  
atures. Temperature of the water supply to the  
Advanced Two-Stage Drinking Water Filter must be  
between 40°F and 100°F. Do not install on hot water.  
Check with your local public works department for  
plumbing and sanitation codes. You must follow  
their guides as you install the system. Follow your  
local codes if they differ with guides in this manual.  
In Massachusetts, plumbing code 248-CMR 3.00 and  
10.00 shall be adhered to. Consult with a licensed  
plumber.

IMPORTANT: A 1-1/4” dia. hole is needed to mount the  
filtered water faucet. To avoid damaging the sink, con-  
sult a qualified plumber or installer for drilling proce-  
dures in porcelain or stainless steel.  
1. Select one of the following options to install the faucet.  
Make sure there is room underneath to make the need-  
ed connections.  
1-1/4” dia. hole  
through sink or  
countertop  
rubber gasket  
toggle bolts  
Use an existing sink top hole for spray hose or  
soap dispenser (must be 1-1/4” in diameter).  
Drill a new hole in the sink top.  
Figure 5  
Drill a hole in the countertop next to the sink.  
2. Check to make sure the filtered water faucet base will  
sit flat against the mounting surface.

INSTALL FAUCET BASE  
1. Locate the faucet base (See Fig. 5) and feed the toggle  
bolts down through the hole until the faucet base is  
square against the mounting surface (sink or counter-  
top). The rubber gasket should be between the faucet  
base and mounting surface.

CONNECT BLUE TUBE TO FAUCET  
1. Place the Advanced Two-Stage Drinking Water Filter  
housing under the sink. It can sit upright or on its side.  
2. Locate the blue tube. One end is attached to the filter  
housing. Feed the other end up through the mounting  
hole and faucet base. See Figure 6.  
Figure 6  
3. Refer to the “Cut Tubes to Length” section on Page 8  
and cut the blue tube square and to length as needed,  
leaving about 6 inches above the faucet base.  
4. Locate the faucet. Refer to the “Connect Tubes” section  
on Page 8 and insert the blue tube all the way into the  
3/8” quick connect fitting on the faucet bottom.

HOW TO CUT AND CONNECT THE TUBES  
Push In Fitting  
Tube  
Your Advanced Two-Stage Drinking Water Filter  
includes push-in fittings for quick tubing connection.  
Review the following before connecting the tubes.  
Cut tubes to length  
Cut tubing square with end of tubing round,  
smooth, with no cuts, nicks or flat spots.  
1. Use a sharp cutter or knife to cut the end of tubing.  
Always cut the tubing square. See Figure 9.  
2. Inspect the end (about 1") of the tubing to be sure  
there are no nicks, scratches or other rough spots. If  
needed, cut the tubing again.  
Figure 9  
Tube Correctly Cut  
O-Ring  
Collet  
Connect tubes  
1. Push tubing through collet, until it engages the o-ring.  
See Figure 10. Continue pushing until the tube bot-  
toms out against the back of the fitting. See Figure 11.  
A common mistake is to stop pushing when the tube  
engages the o-ring. This will lead to future leaks.  
When a 3/8” tube is fully engaged, 3/4” of the tube has  
entered the fitting. See Figures 10 & 11.  
2. If using tubing other than tubing supplied with the  
system, be sure it is of high quality, exact size and  
roundness with a smooth surface.

2. Continue holding collet inward while pulling the tub-  
ing out. See Figure 13.

FILTER CARTRIDGE LIFE  
FILTER CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT  
It is recommended to replace the battery and filter car-  
tridges every 6 months of use. There are several vari-  
ables that determine how long a cartridge will last.  
These include:  
1. How much water you use, and  
2. How much sediment, taste and/or odor, or other  
unwanted substances, are in the water.  
Use the following information as a guide. However no  
matter which type of cartridge you are using, you will  
know it is time to replace it when you first notice the  
return of unwanted substances in your water.  
Kenmore Elite Advanced Two-Stage Drinking Water  
Filter model 625.385010 with replacement element pack  
42-34381 conforms to NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 for the specif-  
ic performance claims as verified and substantiated by  
test data. The rated capacity for this system is 280 gal-  
lons (1060 liters) at a rated service flow of 0.5 gpm (gal-  
lons per minute).  
Complete the following steps to replace the cartridges:  
1. Turn filter cartridge to the left to remove cartridges  
from the filter heads. See Figure 15.  
2. Dispose of the old cartridges in a proper manner.  
3. Install new cartridges, making sure to insert cartridge  
1 and 2 into the correct opening (note the printing on  
the cover designating “Cartridge 1” and “Cartridge  
2”). Turn cartridges to the right to re-attach to the fil-  
ter heads.  
4. Remove and replace the timer battery. See “Change  
Battery” above.  
Taste and Odor Cartridges: Filter cartridges contain acti-  
vated carbon, a black powder. When new, open the fil-  
tered water faucet and allow fine carbon particles to  
purge from the cartridge. Close the faucet when you no  
longer see the “fines” (carbon particulates) in the filtered  
water, or approximately 10 minutes.
