Setting up your Brita Hub Compact Water Filter System is a straightforward process that requires no special tools or complex installation. Follow these steps to begin enjoying filtered water:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all items from the packaging. Ensure you have the main unit, the removable water reservoir, and the carbon block filter.
2. Wash Reservoir: Before first use, wash the removable 9-cup water reservoir with mild soap and rinse thoroughly with water.
3. Insert Filter: Locate the filter compartment. Insert the Brita Hub filter into the designated slot. Ensure the Brita logo on the filter faces you and press the top end in until you hear two distinct clicks, confirming it is securely in place.
4. Fill Reservoir: Fill the 9-cup removable reservoir with cold tap water up to the MAX line. Do not use hot water.

8. Ready for Use: After flushing, the filter life indicator light will turn green, signaling that the system is ready for use.
