Filling the Internal Tank
NOTE:
Upper and
lower tanks must be
completely full before
proceeding.
1. Place a glass under
the spigot and press
and continue to hold
the COLD button until
water flow becomes
steady (may take up to
3 minutes).
2. Repeat process with ROOM button until both
flow steadily.
NOTE:
When filling the cold internal tank, the
water level in the lower tank will drop and you
will hear the filling process taking place.
Setting the Filter Timer
The filter timer, located on the lid of the unit, lets
you know when to change your water filter. Each
filter will last for 3 months.
1. Once unit is set up and all water tanks are full,
peel off the FILTERINg sticker from the filter
timer screen.
2. Press and hold the Start button until
FILTERINg is displayed (approx. 3 seconds).
3. In 12 weeks, the word REPLACE will appear.
For best results, we recommend inserting a
new Cuisinart
®
Water Filter immediately.
4. You may turn off the timer and display by
pressing the Start button for 5 seconds.
Once you replace the filter, reset the timer
by pressing the Start button for 3 seconds.
NOTE:
You may reset the timer at any time
by pressing and holding the Start button for
3 seconds.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Once setup is complete, tanks are filled and
water is flowing steadily, your unit is ready to use!
1. Close the lid and plug unit into outlet to
activate the cooling function.
2. After about 1 hour and 20 minutes, the BLUE
cold water indicator will light up, signaling
water is chilled.
NOTE:
On subsequent fill-ups, unit should take
less than 30 minutes to chill.
3. Press and hold each button to ensure all air
has been purged from the unit so water flow
is steady.
REPLACING WATER FILTER
Replacement filters may be purchased at most
retail outlets or www.cuisinart.com. To replace
your filter, follow “Water Filter Setup” on page 4.
TIPS AND HINTS
• Drinking 4 to 8 glasses of water each day is
healthy! Your countertop chiller makes it easy.
• Regular use of cleaner, filtered water in your
automatic coffeemaker means less frequent
decalcification treatments.
• Use filtered water in your iron to reduce
mineral build-up.
• Treat your pets to cleaner, filtered water.
• Cleaner, filtered water makes tea and instant
soup or coffee taste better.
• Keeping the upper tank full helps increase the
filtering process as well as the flow rate of water
from spigots.
• Proper setup of the filter (as instructed
on page 4) will maximize the reduction of
contaminants and optimize taste of water.
• Conserve energy by unplugging your unit
when only room temperature filtered water
is needed.
• You may notice some condensation and water
droplets on the lid and tanks of your unit. This
is normal due to the cooling system.

To prevent personal injury or
electric shock, always unplug your Cuisinart

2. Remove the filter and place it in a bowl.
3. Lift upper water tank and let it drain into
