3. Initial Flush and Power Connection

- On the rear panel, locate the red (Hot) and green (Cold) switches. Turn both switches to the 'ON' position.
- Dispense at least 1 liter of water from each spigot (hot, cold, and room temperature) to flush the system and ensure water flows properly. Discard this initial water.
- Allow approximately 15-30 minutes for the water to reach optimal hot and cold temperatures.
