UNPACKING & PLACEMENT
1. Remove your Cuisinart
®
Countertop Filtration System carefully from
the box.
2. Position the unit on a stable flat surface, close
to a main power outlet. Avoid direct sunlight
and keep out of the reach of children.
3. Allow at least 10cm of space around the sides
and rear of the unit for proper air circulation.
4. Remove filter from upper tank and carefully
follow the SETUP instructions below. You will
need a large bowl, a pitcher (or another type
of container), and a glass.
NOTE:
Do not plug in unit until ALL steps of
SETUP are complete.
WATER FILTER SETUP
NOTE:
For optimum filtering and flow rates,
the water filter must be prepared and installed
exactly as follows:
Preparing the Water Filter
1. Remove the filter from its packaging.
NOTE:
The filter may contain a small amount
of loose carbon dust. It may also appear moist,
have a faint smell of plastic or a slight yellowish
tint – these are all normal.
DO NOT
wash filter
with soap or water.
2. Place water filter in
empty
bowl sideways
(see
image). Pressing it firmly
to the bottom of the bowl,
and being careful not to
pour water directly onto the filter, slowly
add enough cold water to fully submerge
and cover the filter by at least 1 inch. (You
should see bubbles escaping the filter.)
3. Continue to hold filter under water for at
least 30 seconds.
4. Release the filter and let it
soak at least
15 minutes
.
NOTE:
While soaking, the
filter should be partially
submerged and may tilt to one side.
Installing the Prepared Water Filter
1. While the filter is soaking, remove the lid,
upper water tank and lower water tank.
2. Remove the filter timer from the lid by flipping
the lid over and pressing on the plastic tab.
3. Wash both tanks and plastic lid in mild, soapy
water, and rinse. Replace the filter timer.
4. Lift the filter from the bowl and allow water to
drain.
NOTE:
The filter's loose carbon dust may
slightly darken water while soaking.
5. With the Cuisinart
®
logo facing up, insert the
water filter into the upper water tank and push
firmly into place.
6. Place the upper tank on a
pitcher (or another type of
container) and fill with
cold
tap water. Allow to drain for
5 minutes
to flush out any
remaining carbon dust, then
pour out remaining water.
WATER DISPENSER
SETUP
NOTE:
Use only
cold
tap
water to fill the unit.
Filling the Upper and Lower Tanks
1. Place the upper tank onto the lower tank and
cover with the lid.
2. Place assembled tanks on base.
NOTE:
The
vertical groove on the upper tank must face
the back of the unit.
3. Carefully lift the flip top lid and add
cold
water to the FILL line.
NOTE:
This is a gravity
fill system. To increase the filtering flow rate,
continue adding water to the FILL line of the
upper tank until tanks are completely full.
4. During the initial setup, allow 30–40 minutes
for water to filter into and completely fill upper
and lower tanks.
