2. Swap in a new shower head and a new gasket.

   From the manual: “Replace the shower head (1) and the gasket (3).”

3. Fit the gasket onto the shower head with its notch "A" facing up.

   From the manual: “making sure that the notch “A” seal is positioned upward.”

4. Sit the shower head and gasket on the filter holder.

   From the manual: “Place the shower head on the holder.”

5. Engage the filter holder in the group by the left lug first, turned all the way, then the right.
