3.To allow internal hot and cold water tanks to fill, place glass under spigot and press and hold both Cold and Hot buttons until water flows steadily (about 1 minute). NOTE: Until air is fully displaced by water, water flow will be a little erratic.

4.Close the lid.

5.Plug the unit into an electrical outlet. Press the On/Off power switch on the control panel to turn on. The blue light around the power switch indicates the unit is on and the cold and hot features are activated.

6.Dispense 16 ounces (475 ml) of room temperature water to remove any unfiltered water.

7.After about 15 minutes the red hot water indicator will light up. After approximately 1 hour the blue cold water indicator will light up signaling the water has chilled. Your

Cuisinart™ Countertop Filtration System is now ready for use.

NOTE: On subsequent fill-ups, unit may take up to 30 minutes to chill and 10 minutes to heat.

Using the Filter Timer

It is important to change your water filter regularly to enjoy the full benefits of good tasting filtered water. The filter timer automatically reminds you when your water filter needs to be changed. It has

a life of 3 to 4 months, or 80 gallons (302 L).

Once the filter is in place and unit is assembled, start the filter timer as follows:

1.On the cover, there is a filter timer that lets you know when to replace the filter.

2.Tear off the slip that insulates the battery. Peel off “Filtering” sticker from filter timer screen.

3.Press and hold the Start button until the word “Filtering” is displayed (approximately 3 seconds).

4.In 12 weeks, the word "REPLACE"

will appear. We recommend replacing the filter with a new Cuisinart® Water Filter within the following 2 weeks, depending on usage. NOTE: Only the Cuisinart Replacement Filter (see next page) can be used with this unit.

5.Once you replace the filter, reset the timer by pressing the Start button. NOTE: If you do not replace the filter and press and hold Start button for 3 seconds, the timer will automatically shut off for power save and no display will be shown. You can press and hold Start button for 3 seconds anytime to reset the timer if needed. If you press Start button for more than 5 seconds the timer will automatically shut off for power save.
