Preparing a new
fi
lter
Remove all packaging from the water
fi
lter.
•
Do not worry about the black carbon particles on the packaging or
fi
lter, they are harmless.
•
Wipe the outside of the water
fi
lter with a damp cloth.
•
Don’t use washing liquid, or anything that might leave a taint.
•
For the
fi
lter to perform at its best, all air bubbles must be removed before use.
•
Submerge the water
fi
lter in a bowl of cold water and shake it
•
gently. When no more bubbles are released, the water
fi
lter is ready for use.
You might see black carbon particles in the water. Again, don’t worry as they are harmless.
•
Removing the old water
fi
lter
Use the handle to lift the lid off the
fi
lter holder (Fig.1)
•
Removing the
fi
lter holder will need two hands – put the thumbs inside the walls of the
fi
lter
•
holder, put the
fi
ngers on the outside of the rim, and gently lift upwards.
Don’t turn the
fi
lter holder upside down. Try to keep the
fi
lter upright at all times.
•
Grip the bottom of the
fi
lter with the other hand.
•
Turn the
fi
lter clockwise (about 1.5cm), to bring the tabs on the top of the
fi
lter into the bulges
•
at the sides of its holder, then bring the
fi
lter down and out of the
fi
lter holder.
Gently ease the seal off the underside of the water tank (Fig.3)
•
Clean the seal and water tank with a damp cloth. Don’t use washing-up liquid, or anything that
•
might leave a taint.
Fit the seal snugly to the underside of the
fi
lter holder. The lugs in the bottom of the
fi
lter holder
•
fi
t into the slots in the seal (Fig.3).
Fit the new
fi
lter
Align the tabs on the top of the
fi
lter with the bulges on the underside of the
fi
lter holder.
•
Lift the
fi
lter up and into its holder, push it gently against the seal, and turn it anticlockwise
•
(about 1.5cm) to lock it into the
fi
lter holder.
Lower the
fi
lter holder into the water tank.
•
Fill the water tank
Lift the lid off the
fi
lter holder (if it’s not already off).
•
Use a jug to pour water into the
fi
lter holder. If you don’t have a big enough jug, clean out your
•
electric kettle and use that – most kettles hold about 1.7litres. Two jugs, two kettles, or a jug and
a kettle makes life even easier.
* Don’t pour directly on to the
fi
lter.
Air Locks
To prevent air locks in the cooling unit (underneath the water tank) you need to keep the tap
•
open while you’re
fi
lling the water tank, so that the incoming water drives the air out before it.
Put a container that holds at least a litre under the spout.
•
If the container is tall enough, use it to push the tap back against the wall of the cooler. If not
•
you’ll have to hold the tap open with a
fi
nger.
Either way, push the tap back against the wall of the cooler and keep it there.
•
Pour water into the top of the
fi
lter holder.
•
Keep pouring untill about
•
to litre comes out of the spout, then let the tap close.
That should be enough to clear all air out of the system.
•
With the tap closed, keep pouring into the
fi
lter holder until the water tank is full, and the
fi
lter
•
holder is full to within about a centimeter of the rim.
Water
fl
ow through the
fi
lter will get slower, as the water tank and the
fi
lter
fi
ll up.
•
Put the lid on – the edges of the lid should be just clear of the water.
