5. Installation

Setup

• Place the machine on a cool and stable surface with good ventilation, and far away from any heat source.
• Remove the raw water tank lid and lift the tank upwards. Fill the raw water tank with tap water and place it back to the machine, then place the lid back to the raw water tank properly.
• Plug the power cord into a power socket. The machine will make a “beep” sound, and the display panel will light up, indicating that the machine is working.

First time use

• During first time use, please check if any water leaks from or gathers around the dispenser. If there is any strange noise, burnt smell or smoke coming out from the product, please disconnect the power cord immediately. Contact customer services if you find any of the situations above.
• For first time use, in order to ensure the best filtration performance, fill the raw water tank and discard all filtered water when filtration is completed. Repeat this until two tanks of tap water is filtered.
• When air passes the high-precision filter elements, micro bubbles are generated causing the water in the pure water jug appears white and cloudy. This is a normal phenomenon.
• In order to avoid dry-heating and protect the machine, please extract some ambient water before extracting hot water.
• To prevent excess steam, the local boiling point should be checked and adjusted. When filtration is done and extracting water at 100°C for the first time, boiled water will flow out from the nozzle and the boiling point calibration will be completed automatically. This procedure will last for 60 seconds. A container with a volume not less than 500ml should be placed under the nozzle during this procedure.

Note: Steam might be ejected during automatic boiling point calibration, please be aware of burn hazards.
