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.
TIPS AND HINTS
• Drinking 4 to 8 glasses of water each day is
healthy! Your countertop chiller makes it
easy.
• Regular use of clean, filtered water in your
automatic coffeemaker means less frequent
decalcification treatments.
• Use filtered water in your iron to reduce
mineral build-up.
• Treat your pets to clean, filtered water.
• Clean, filtered water makes tea and instant
soup or coffee taste better.
CLEANING AND CARE
CAUTION:
To prevent personal injury
or electric shock, always unplug your
Cuisinart
®
Countertop Filtration
System from outlet before cleaning. Do not
immerse base in water or other liquid.
1. Turn the unit off and unplug it from outlet.
2. Remove the filter and place it in a bowl.
3. Lift upper water tank and let it drain into
lower tank, and set it aside. Then lift lower
tank off base and empty. Careful, a full tank
can be very heavy!
4. Clean the water tanks and the cover with
warm soapy water.
5. The base is not immersible. Simply wipe it
clean with a damp cloth.
