Image 3: A visual guide demonstrating the four steps for filter installation and replacement. It shows detaching the pumping unit, removing the old filter, inserting the new filter, and securing it with a 'click'. - Initial Filter Flush: Fill the water reservoir with tap water. Dispense the entire first tank of filtered water and discard it. This flushes out any carbon fines from the new filter and prepares it for use. Repeat this process 2-3 times as recommended for optimal performance.
Operating Instructions
- Filling the Reservoir: Open the lid and fill the water reservoir with tap water up to the MAX FILL line. Ensure the water pumping unit is properly seated.
- Dispensing Water:
- Place a cup or container under the dispensing nozzle.
- Double-tap the drop-shaped touch control button on the top of the unit to activate the dispenser.
- Tap the button again to start dispensing water.
- Tap the button once more to stop the water flow when your cup is full.
- Understanding Indicators: The pitcher features smart indicators to keep you informed.
