NOTE: Tank must be at least ½ full before
proceeding to Step #3.
3. To allow internal cold water tank to fill,
place glass under spigot and press and hold
Cold button until water flows steadily (about
1 minute). NOTE: Until air is fully displaced
by water, water flow will be a little erratic.
4. Close the lid.
5. Plug the unit into an electrical outlet. Press
the On/Off power switch on the control
panel to turn on. The blue light around the
power switch indicates the unit is on and
the cold feature is activated.
6. Dispense 16 ounces of room temperature
water to remove any unfiltered water.
7. After approximately 1 hour the blue cold
water indicator will light up signaling
the water has chilled. Your Cuisinart ™
Countertop Filtration System
is now ready for use.
NOTE: On subsequent fill-ups, unit may take
up to 30 minutes to chill.
Using the Filter Timer
It is important to change your water filter
regularly to enjoy the full benefits of good
tasting filtered water. The filter timer
automatically reminds you when your water
filter should be changed. For optimum results,
it should be changed every 3 to 4 months, or
80 gallons.
Once the filter is in place and unit assembled,
start the filter timer as follows:
1. On the cover, there is a filter timer that lets
you know when to replace the filter.
2. Tear off the slip that insulates the battery.
Peel off “Filtering” sticker from filter timer
screen.
3. Press and hold the Start button until the
word “Filtering” is displayed (approximately
3 seconds).
4. In 12 weeks, the word “REPLACE” will
appear. We recommend replacing the filter
with a new Cuisinart ® Water Filter within the
following 2 weeks, depending on usage.
NOTE: Only the Cuisinart Replacement
Filter (see next page) can be used with this
unit.
5. Once you replace the filter, reset the timer
by pressing the Start button. NOTE: If you
do not replace the filter and press and hold
Start button for 3 seconds, the timer will
automatically shut off for power save and no
display will be shown. You can press and
hold Start button for 3 seconds anytime to
reset the timer if needed. If you press Start
button for more than 5 seconds the timer
will automatically shut off for power save.
TIPS AND HINTS
• Drinking 4 to 8 glasses of water each day is
healthy! Your countertop chiller makes it
easy.
• Regular use of clean, 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 clean, filtered water.
• Clean, filtered water makes tea and instant
soup or coffee taste better.
