3. If the threads to the Diverter Valve do not directly
attach to your kitchen faucet, use one of the three
Adapters provided.
4. Most kitchen faucets with external threads will directly attach to the Diverter Valve. In some instances the Diverter Valve may be smaller than your
kitchen faucet. In this case use the Adapter with internal threads and attach it directly to your kitchen
faucet. Next, attach the Diverter Valve to the Adapter.
5. If your kitchen faucet has internal threads, attach one
of the two Adapters with external threads directly to
your kitchen faucet. Next, attach the Diverter Valve to
the Adapter.
6. If your kitchen faucet does not have threads, measure
the inside diameter of the kitchen faucet and provide
this information to your Independent Royal Prestige
Representative or to the Royal Prestige Customer
Service Center (1-800-279-3373). Be sure to request an
expandable adapter.
7. If your kitchen faucet does not fit any of the Adapters
provided, send the threaded aerator to your Independent
Royal Prestige Representative or to the Royal Prestige Customer Service Department. Include a note requesting an
adapter that fits your threaded aerator.

8. With the System placed on the counter next to your
sink, turn the cold water “on” and pull the Diverter
Pin. Water will begin entering the Filter Housing.
Check to see that all hose, clamp and housing connections are tight and do not leak.
9. When using your System for the first time, allow the System to flush into the sink for fifteen (15) minutes. This
will remove any fine, black carbon particles left over
from the manufacturing process, expel trapped air, and
will condition the Cartridge for normal use. This procedure should be repeated each time a new Cartridge
is installed.
REPLACING THE CARTRIDGE (FP5000 & FP4000 Counter-Top Models)
The most important part of maintaining your Drinking Water
System is replacing the Cartridge on a regular service interval.
To insure that your System continues to perform as tested
and represented in the Performance Data Sheet the Cartridge
should be replaced whenever the red LED on the Filter Life
Indicator begins blinking (FP5000 & FP4500 models only) every
twelve months when you notice a reduction in flow when the
rated capacity of the Cartridge has been reached or whenever
there is a taste or odor reoccurrence- whichever occurs first.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to insist on Genuine, Royal Prestige NSF
Certified Replacement Cartridges. All Royal Prestige Genuine
Replacement Cartridges can be identified by the Royal Prestige
Registered Trademark which appears on every Genuine, Royal
Prestige NSF Certified Cartridge.

Ice cubes appear cloudy in the center.
Reason:
Minerals such as calcium and magnesium that are present in your water supply collect in the center of the ice
cubes when water is frozen. Your System is designed
specifically to leave beneficial trace minerals in your water.
Solution:
No action is required.
Condition:
Filtered water is flowing slowly from the System.
Reason:
Excessive amounts of particles in the water supply may
have caused premature plugging of the Cartridge. On
models equipped with a Filter Life Indicator, this condition may occur before the red lamp located on the LED
Display begins to flash.
Solution:
The Cartridge (and Battery for models with Filter Life
Indicator) must be replaced due to poor water quality
conditions in your area.
Condition:
Yellow lamp on the LED Display is flashing (FP5000 &
FP4500 models only).
Reason:
Cartridge is reaching the end of its useful life (or rated capacity) and will need to be replaced soon. Order a Genuine Royal Prestige NSF Listed Replacement Cartridge now
so that you will have it when the red lamp begins blinking,
signaling it is time to replace the used Cartridge.
Solution:
Replace Cartridge and Battery when red lamp on LED
Display begins flashing.

Condition:
Diverter Pin is sluggish or does not fully return to the
“Off” position after being in service for a while.
Reason and Solution:
There could be a lack of lubricant on the shaft of the Diverter Valve. Remove the Diverter Valve from the faucet.
Press petroleum jelly into the opening on the Diverter
Valve. Work the Diverter Pin in and out until a smooth
motion is restored.
Hard water (water with high content of dissolved minerals) has caused a build-up of scale in the Diverter Valve.
Detach the Diverter Valve from the kitchen faucet. Remove the rubber washer inside Diverter Valve and soak
Diverter Valve in vinegar for several hours to remove
scale build-up. Then rinse the Diverter Valve with warm
water. Press petroleum jelly into opening on the Diverter
Valve and work the Diverter Pin in and out until a smooth
action is restored. Replace rubber washer and re-connect
the Diverter Valve to the kitchen faucet.
