Usage Instructions
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 and contact customer services.
- For first time use, in order to ensure the best filtration performance, fill the tap water tank and discard all the filtered water. You may press and hold the [Ambient] button + [Water Extraction] button for 3 seconds to empty the tank and pipes when filtration is completed. Repeat this until two tanks of tap water are filtered.

The machine will be locked automatically if no keys are pressed within 10 seconds. Press the [Safety Lock] button for 10 seconds to disable the safety lock and temperature memory. The machine returns to “Ambient” after water extraction if the safety lock is disabled. Press the [Safety Lock] button for 10 seconds again to enable the safety lock and temperature memory.

Water Filtration
- If the built-in filtered water tank is at a low water level, the dispenser will automatically start to filter the tap water until the filtration is done.

After pressing the safety lock (ambient water is automatically unlocked), press the water extraction button to extract purified water with the corresponding temperature and volume. You can press any button to stop during the extraction process.
