5.1 Set-up
- Place the dispenser on a cool, well-ventilated, and stable surface, away from heat sources.
- Remove the raw water tank, fill it with water, reinstall it, and close the lid.
- Plug in the power cord. The dispenser will beep, and the display panel will illuminate, indicating it is ready.
5.2 First Time Using
- During initial use, check for leaks, unusual noises, smells, or smoke. If any are detected, disconnect power and contact customer service.
- For the first use or after a long period of non-use, fill the water tank and wait for the filtration indicator to turn off. Then, perform a flush cycle by continuously extracting water until the tank is empty. This is done by pressing and holding the '85°C' button and the '300ml' button simultaneously for 3 seconds. Repeat this process twice.
- To prevent dry heating and protect the machine, extract some ambient water before selecting hot water.
6. Usage Instruction
6.1 Filtering Water
When the filtered water tank is low, the dispenser automatically filters raw water. The [Water Filtration Indicator] ? will be on when water can be extracted. If it flashes, water extraction is not possible.
6.2 Extracting Water
- Select the desired water temperature and volume.
- Press the [Child Lock Button] ? to unlock if necessary (not required for ambient water).
- Tap the extraction button once to dispense the selected water. Tap again or any other button to stop.
- For continuous extraction, long-press the extraction button for 3 seconds. The maximum volume is 1L per extraction.
- Note: When dispensing hot water, keep a safe distance from the nozzle to avoid scalding.
6.3 Customization
If extraction is stopped midway, press the [Customize Button] ⚙️. The dispenser will memorize the current water temperature and volume. If no button is pressed for 10 seconds, it returns to standby. To extract the customized water later, press the [Customize Button] ⚙️ and then the [Child Lock Button] ? to unlock (if needed), followed by the extraction button.
The extraction indicator light will be on during water extraction.
6.4 Changing Water
The [Water Change Indicator] ⚠️ will flash when the raw water tank needs refilling or water change. This occurs if:
- Raw water level is at or below the minimum mark.
- TDS value in the tank is high.
- Water has not been changed for over 48 hours.
Empty and refill the raw water tank. Never refill before emptying. Ensure the lid is closed properly after refilling, or the indicator will continue flashing.
