5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Initial Flush:

Before first use, or after filter replacement, it is crucial to flush the system. Turn on the water supply to the purifier. Allow water to run from the purified water faucet for approximately 5-10 minutes to flush out any air and carbon fines from the new filters. Discard this initial water.

Once the initial flush is complete, the purifier is ready for use. Simply open the purified water faucet to dispense drinking water. Close the faucet when done.

The purifier typically features an indicator light to show its operational status. A steady light usually indicates the unit is powered on and functioning correctly. Refer to the specific indicator design on your unit.
