Shut Off Water Supply to Quooker

You're now ready to shut off the water supply to your Quooker.

First, you'll need to locate the shut-off valve, which is usually found near the water supply lines.

Identify the valve handle and make sure you can easily access it, as you'll need to operate it in the next step.

Locate Shut-Off Valve

Before starting the replacement process, locate the shut-off valve that supplies water to your Quooker, typically found near the water filter or under the sink. As a Valve Inspector, it's crucial to identify the correct valve to avoid any mistakes. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the plumbing basics in your kitchen.

You'll usually find the valve handle near the Quooker's water supply lines. Take note of the valve type, as it may be a ball valve, gate valve, or needle valve. Each type has a distinct handle design and operation.

Examine the handle material, which can be plastic, metal, or a combination of both. This will assist you in determining the best way to turn the handle. Some handles may require a gentle touch, while others need a bit more force.

Check if the handle has any visible markings, such as arrows or icons, that indicate the direction of rotation. Understanding the valve handle's mechanics will enable you to confidently shut off the water supply to your Quooker, paving the way for a successful filter replacement.

Disconnect Filter From Quooker Unit

Switch off the Quooker unit and unplug it from the power outlet to guarantee your safety while working on the filter replacement. You're now ready to disconnect the filter from the Quooker unit.
