3. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps for initial setup:

1. Step 1: Prepare the Reservoir
   Remove the water pumping unit from the reservoir. Manually clean the water reservoir and fill it with municipal tap water. Ensure the water level is between the MIN and MAX lines.
2. Step 2: Install the Filter
   Unpack the new filter cartridge. Align the filter's buckles with the notches on the water pumping unit and insert the new filter. Ensure the bottom of the filter is aligned with the pumping unit until you hear a click.
3. Step 3: Reassemble
   Place the water pumping unit back into the reservoir.
4. Step 4: Activate and Rinse the Filter
   For optimal filtration, activate the filter by rinsing it. Double-click the water dispensing button to allow water to flow naturally from the outlet. For the first use or after filter replacement, discard the first full reservoir of filtered water and do not consume it.
5. Optional: Install Anti-slip Pads
   If the system vibrates excessively on a table, it is recommended to place the four anti-slip pads at the bottom of the reservoir. This system is not prone to sliding in a refrigerator, so installing the pads is not suggested for refrigerator use.
6. Charging the System
   The power indicator on the system's display screen will flash red to signal a low battery. Charge the system using a 5V 2A adapter and a USB Type-C cable inserted into the charging port on the side of the water pumping unit.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Waterdrop Electric Filter Carafe, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• No Water Dispensing:
  Check if the battery is charged. The power indicator should not be flashing red. Ensure the water pumping unit is correctly seated in the reservoir.
• Slow Water Flow:
  This may indicate a clogged filter. Try replacing the filter cartridge. Ensure the water reservoir is adequately filled.
• Unusual Taste/Odor:
  This typically means the filter needs to be replaced. Ensure you have rinsed the new filter for at least 3 minutes before consuming water.
• Indicator Light Issues:
  If the filter life indicator is not resetting, ensure you are holding the button for the full 3 seconds. If the charging indicator remains red after charging, ensure the cable and adapter are functioning correctly.
