NOTE:

 Upper and lower 

tanks must be completely  

full before proceeding. 
1.  Place a glass under the 

right spigot and press 

and continue to hold 

the COLD button until 

water flow becomes 

steady (may take up  

to 3 minutes). 

2.  Repeat process with 

ROOM button, and then 

with the HOT button until all flow steadily. 

NOTE:

 When filling hot and cold internal tanks, 

the water level in the lower tank will drop and 

you will hear the filling process taking place.

Setting the Filter Timer

The filter timer, located on the lid of the unit, lets 

you know when to change your water filter. Each 

filter will last for 3 months.
1.  Set up the unit and fill the water tank.
2.  Press and hold the Start button until 

FILTERING is displayed (approx. 5 seconds).

3.  In 12 weeks, the word REPLACE will appear. 

For best results, we recommend inserting a 

new Cuisinart

®

 Water Filter immediately.

4.  You may turn off the timer and display by 

pressing the Start button for 5 seconds. 

Once you replace the filter, reset the timer by 

pressing the Start button for 3 seconds. 

NOTE:

 You may reset the timer at any time by 

pressing and holding the Start button for  

3 seconds.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Once set up is completed, tanks are filled and 

water is flowing steadily, your unit is ready to use!
1.  Close the lid and plug unit into outlet. 
2.  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 

cooling and heating functions are activated.

3.  After about 15 minutes, the RED hot water 

indicator will light up, signaling hot water is 

ready to dispense.  

NOTE:

 Energy Saver switch must be in the 

Off position for water to heat. 

4.  After about 1 hour and 20 minutes, the BLUE 

cold water indicator will light up, signaling 

water is chilled.

NOTE:

 On subsequent fill-ups, unit should take 

less than 10 minutes to heat and 30 minutes  

to chill.
5.  Press and hold each button to ensure all air 

has been purged from the unit so water flow 

is steady. 

Initiating Energy Saver Mode

You can turn off the heater used to heat the 

water in the hot tank to reduce the system's 

energy usage by more than 50%. While in 

Energy Saver mode, you can still dispense water 

from your hot tank; however, it will not  

be heated.

NOTE:

 We recommend you power your unit off 

when only room temperature filtered water  

is needed.
1.  Put the Energy Saver switch in its On position.
2.  The green LED will light up, indicating your 

unit is in Energy Saver mode.

3.  Because your unit is in Energy Saver mode 

and your hot water heater is disabled, the red 

LED hot water indicator light will turn off when 

the temperature of the hot water decreases 

(this can take up to 2 hours).

4.  To resume your hot water, simply put the 

Energy Saver switch in its Off position. After 

about 15 minutes, the red LED hot water 

indicator will light up, signaling hot water is 

ready to dispense.

NOTE:

 If your unit has been in Energy Saver 

mode for longer than a week, we recommend 

you flush out your hot water tank by dispensing 

and disposing of a full glass of water from the 

left spigot before enjoying your first glass of hot 

water.

REPLACING WATER FILTER

Replacement filters may be purchased at most 

retail outlets or www.cuisinart.com. To replace 

your filter, follow “Water Filter Setup” on page 4.

TIPS AND HINTS

•  Drinking 4 to 8 glasses of water each day is 

healthy! Your countertop chiller makes it easy.

•  Regular use of cleaner, filtered water in your 

automatic coffeemaker means less frequent
