I'm trying to dispense water to flush the system. Where's the water?

When do I change the water filter?

Select dispenser models feature a water filter change indicator. For instructions on how to operate and reset this feature, refer to the dispenser features section in your manual.

IMPORTANT: Condition of water and amount used determines life span of water filter cartridge. If water use is high, or if water is of poor quality, replacement may need to take place more often.

During initial use, allow about a 1 to 2 minute delay to allow internal water tank to fill.

What if I choose not to use the water filtration system?

Dispenser feature may be used without water filter cartridge. If you choose this option, replace filter with blue bypass cap.
