4.4 Initial Rinse

Before first use, the system requires an initial rinse to flush out any carbon fines and prepare the filters.

1. Fill the raw water pitcher with tap water and place it into the dispenser.
2. Plug in the dispenser. The system will automatically begin a flushing cycle.
3. Dispense and discard at least two full pitchers of purified water. This ensures the filters are properly primed and any manufacturing residues are flushed.

5. Operating Instructions
