1.  Remove your Cuisinart

®

 

               

Countertop Filtration System carefully from 

the box. 

2.  Position the unit on a stable flat surface, close 

to a main power outlet. Avoid direct sunlight 

and keep out of the reach of children.

3.  Allow at least 10cm of space around the sides 

and rear of the unit for proper air circulation.

4.  Remove filter from upper tank and carefully 

follow the SETUP instructions below. You will 

need a large bowl, a pitcher (or another type 

of container), and a glass. 

NOTE:

 

Do not plug in unit until ALL steps of 

SETUP are complete.

WATER FILTER SETUP

NOTE:

 For optimum filtering and flow rates, 

the water filter must be prepared and installed 

exactly as follows:

Preparing the Water Filter

1.  Remove the filter from its packaging. 

NOTE: 

The filter may contain a small amount 

of loose carbon dust. It may also appear moist, 

have a faint smell of plastic or a slight yellowish 

tint – these are all normal. 

DO NOT

 wash filter 

with soap or water.

2.  Place water filter in 

empty 

bowl sideways

 (see 

image). Pressing it firmly 

to the bottom of the bowl, 

and being careful not to 

pour water directly onto the filter, slowly 

add enough cold water to fully submerge 

and cover the filter by at least 1 inch. (You 

should see bubbles escaping the filter.)

3.  Continue to hold filter under water for at 

least 30 seconds. 

4.  Release the filter and let it 

soak at least 

15 minutes

NOTE:

 While soaking, the 

filter should be partially 

submerged and may tilt to one side.

Installing the Prepared Water Filter

1.  While the filter is soaking, remove the lid, 

upper water tank and lower water tank. 

2.  Remove the filter timer from the lid by flipping 

the lid over and pressing on the plastic tab.

3.  Wash both tanks and plastic lid in mild, soapy 

water, and rinse. Replace the filter timer. 

4.  Lift the filter from the bowl and allow water to 

drain.

NOTE: 

The filter's loose carbon dust may 

slightly darken water while soaking.

5.  With the Cuisinart

®

 logo facing up, insert the 

water filter into the upper water tank and push 

firmly into place.

6.  Place the upper tank on a 

pitcher (or another type of 

container) and fill with 

cold

 

tap water. Allow to drain for 

5 minutes

 to flush out any 

remaining carbon dust, then 

pour out remaining water.

WATER DISPENSER 

SETUP

NOTE:

 Use only 

cold

 tap 

water to fill the unit.

Filling the Upper and Lower Tanks

1.  Place the upper tank onto the lower tank and 

cover with the lid. 

2.  Place assembled tanks on base. 

NOTE:

 The 

vertical groove on the upper tank must face 

the back of the unit.

3.  Carefully lift the flip top lid and add 

cold

 

water to the FILL line. 

NOTE:

 This is a gravity 

fill system. To increase the filtering flow rate, 

continue adding water to the FILL line of the 

upper tank until tanks are completely full.

4.  During the initial setup, allow 30–40 minutes 

for water to filter into and completely fill upper 

and lower tanks.
