Setup

1. Unpack the Carafe: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all parts are present: the carafe, lid, and one filter cartridge.
2. Wash Components: Wash the carafe and lid with mild detergent and rinse thoroughly with clean water. Do not wash the filter cartridge with detergent.
3. Prepare the Filter Cartridge:
   • Remove the filter cartridge from its protective packaging.
   • Submerge the filter cartridge completely in cold tap water for approximately 15 minutes. Gently shake it to release any air bubbles. This step is crucial for optimal filter performance.
4. Insert the Filter:
   • Place the prepared filter cartridge firmly into the designated opening in the carafe's inner reservoir. Ensure it is securely seated to prevent unfiltered water from bypassing the filter.
5. Initial Filtration: Fill the carafe with tap water. Allow the water to filter through. Discard the first two full carafes of filtered water. This flushes out any loose carbon particles and prepares the filter for regular use.
6. Set Digital Timer (if applicable): If your carafe features a digital filter replacement timer, activate it according to the instructions provided on the lid or in a separate quick start guide. This timer helps you track when to replace the filter.

Operating Instructions

1. Filling the Carafe: Open the easy-fill lid (if present) or remove the entire lid. Pour cold tap water into the reservoir. The water will pass through the filter cartridge into the main carafe body. Do not pour hot water into the filter reservoir.
2. Filtration Process: The 4-stage Micro X-Clean filter utilizes non-woven fabric, activated carbon from coconut shells, and ion-exchange resin to purify water. Filtration speed may vary slightly depending on water quality and filter age.
3. Serving Water: Once the water has filtered, it is ready for consumption. The carafe is designed to fit in most refrigerator doors for convenient storage.
4. Digital Timer Usage: If your carafe has a digital timer, it will indicate the remaining filter life. Replace the filter when the timer indicates it is due, typically every 30 days or after filtering a certain volume of water (e.g., 100 liters), whichever comes first.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Carafe

• Regularly wash the carafe and lid with warm water and mild dish soap. Rinse thoroughly.
• The carafe and lid are generally dishwasher safe (top rack recommended), but always refer to specific product markings for confirmation.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the plastic.

Filter Replacement

1. Replace the filter cartridge approximately every 30 days or after filtering 100 liters of water, depending on your water quality and usage. The digital timer (if present) will alert you when a replacement is needed.
2. To replace, remove the old filter cartridge from the reservoir.
3. Prepare the new filter cartridge by submerging it in cold water for 15 minutes, as described in the Setup section.
4. Insert the new filter firmly into the reservoir.
5. Reset the digital timer (if applicable) by pressing and holding the reset button until the indicator shows full filter life.
6. Discard the first two full carafes of filtered water with the new filter.
