1. Open the lower front door of the dispenser to access the filter compartment.
2. Unwrap the sediment filter (Stage 1, typically blue) and the carbon block filter (Stage 2, typically black).
3. Insert each filter into its designated housing, twisting clockwise until secure. Refer to the detailed instructions provided with the installation kit for specific guidance.

3. Water Line Connection

The dispenser connects directly to your cold water line using the provided installation kit.

1. Turn off the cold water supply to your sink.
2. Disconnect the cold water line from the faucet.
3. Install the under-sink 3/8" adapter with the shut-off valve onto the cold water supply.
4. Connect the 1/4" tubing from the dispenser to the adapter. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
5. Use the filter flushing adapter to flush the new filters before connecting them to the dispenser. This removes carbon fines.
6. Once flushed, connect the tubing to the dispenser's water inlet.
7. Slowly turn on the cold water supply and check for leaks.

4. Initial Fill and Power On

1. Allow the dispenser to fill with water. This may take several minutes. Dispense a few cups of water from each spout (hot, cold, room temperature) to ensure air is purged from the system.
2. Once water flows steadily from all spouts, plug the dispenser into a grounded electrical outlet.
3. Turn on the hot and cold water switches located on the back of the unit. Allow approximately 15-30 minutes for the water to reach desired temperatures.
