3. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to prepare your Waterdrop Alkaline Chubby Water Filter Pitcher for first use:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all items from the packaging. You should find one pitcher system, one filter replacement (WD-PF-01A), and this user manual.
2. Wash Pitcher Components: Wash the pitcher reservoir, lid, and filter housing with mild detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly. Do not wash the filter cartridge with soap.
3. Prepare the Filter: Submerge the new filter cartridge in cold water for 10-15 minutes to remove any air bubbles. This helps ensure proper water flow and filtration.
4. Install the Filter: Insert the prepared filter firmly into the filter housing located inside the pitcher reservoir. Ensure it is seated correctly to prevent unfiltered water from bypassing the filter.
5. Initial Flushing: Fill the pitcher with tap water and allow it to filter through. Discard the first two full pitchers of filtered water. This primes the filter and removes any loose carbon particles.
6. Set Filter Indicator: After installing a new filter, press and hold the button on the lid for 5 seconds until the blue light flashes. This resets the filter life record.

4. Operating Instructions

Using your Waterdrop Alkaline Chubby Water Filter Pitcher is straightforward:

1. Filling the Pitcher: Place the pitcher under your faucet. The hands-free lid will automatically open when water flows into the top reservoir. Fill the top reservoir with cold tap water. The water will gradually filter into the main pitcher body.
2. Pouring Water: When pouring, ensure the lid is properly seated. The dust-proof spout is designed to prevent ingress of contaminants.
3. Monitoring Filter Life: The intelligent indicator on the lid will show the filter's status. Tap the button to check the status:
• Blue Light: Filter is in good condition (more than 10 days remaining).
• Red Light Flashes 6 Times: Filter needs replacement soon (10 days or less remaining).
• Red Light Stays On for 10 Seconds: Filter needs immediate replacement (0 days remaining).

2. Resetting the Indicator: After each filter replacement, press and hold the button on the lid for 5 seconds until the blue light flashes to reset the filter life tracker.
