3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Filling the Pitcher
Lift the easy-fill lid on top of the pitcher. Place the pitcher under a cold water tap and fill the reservoir. The water will filter through to the main pitcher compartment. Avoid using hot water as it can damage the filter.
3.2 Pouring Filtered Water
Once the water has filtered completely into the main pitcher, it is ready to pour. The stay-tight cover ensures hassle-free pouring without spills.
3.3 Filter Change Indicator
The lid features a filter change light indicator. This light will alert you when it's time to replace the filter:
- Green Light: Filter is working optimally.
- Yellow Light: Change filter soon.
- Red Light: End of filter life, replace filter now.
4. Care and Maintenance
