BEFORE FIRST USE Before using your Cuisinart Countertop Filtration System for the first time, it is recommended that the unit be flushed through with fresh water. Please be sure you read the following instructions before flushing your water dispenser. NOTE: Do NOT plug the unit in or install the filter yet. ® 4. While the filter is soaking, remove the unfiltered/upper water tank and filtered/ lower water tank. Wash both tanks and plastic lid in mild, soapy water, and rinse. NOTE: Remove filter timer before washing lid. Filter timer not immersible. 5. When filter is thoroughly soaked, lift it from bowl and allow water to drain. NOTE: The filter contains a small amount of loose carbon dust, which may make water appear dark during soaking - once the preparation process is complete, dust will be rinsed out of filter. 6. Insert the water filter (in upright position with Cuisinart logo facing up) into the upper water tank and push firmly into place. 7. Hold the water tank with the filter in it under cold running tap water for 15 seconds to flush. 8. Let water drain from upper water tank into sink. 9. Fit the unfiltered/upper water tank onto the filtered/lower water tank and place cover on top. NOTE: The indent on the upper water tank must face to the back of unit when in place. 10. Place the reassembled tanks on the base. 1. Remove your Cuisinart® Countertop Filtration System carefully from the box. You may wish to store the packaging for future use. 2. Position the unit on a stable flat surface, close to a main power outlet, not in direct sunlight and out of the reach of children. 3. Make sure that there is sufficient space around the water dispenser to allow the heat extracted during the chilling process to dissipate. Allow at least 3" of space around the sides and rear of the unit for air circulation. 4. Lift the lid and, using a suitable jug, pour 1 gallon of tap water into the tank. While pouring the water, place a glass under the spigot and press the Room button to drain the water. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Installing the Water Filter 1. Remove the water filter from its packaging (it is normal for the filter to appear moist during storage). DO NOT WASH FILTER ELEMENT WITH SOAP AND WATER. 2. Place water filter into bowl in upright position with Cuisinart logo facing up. 3. Add enough cold water to ensure that filter is fully submerged when pushed down. Hold filter upright, under water, and gently agitate it for 1 or 2 minutes or until you stop seeing bubbles rising to surface. Continue to soak filter for at least 15 minutes. NOTE: Filter may not completely sink to the bottom. Setting Up Your Cuisinart® Countertop Filtration System 1. Lift the flip top lid, and using a clean pitcher, pour cold tap water into the unfiltered/ upper water tank until full. NOTE: Only cold tap water is to be poured into the unit. 2. Allow approximately 15 minutes for water to filter into the filtered/lower water tank.
