BEFORE FIRST USE SETTING UP 1. Remove your Cuisinart® Countertop Filtration System carefully from the box. You may wish to store the packaging for future use. 2. Position the unit on a stable flat surface, close to a main power outlet, not in direct sunlight, and out of the reach of children. 3. Make sure that there is sufficient space around the water dispenser to allow the heat extracted during the chilling process to dissipate.
2. During initial setup allow approximately 30-40 minutes for water to filter into the filtered/lower water tank. NOTE: Filtered/ lower tank must be full before proceeding to step #3. If it takes longer than 30-40 minutes to fill filtered/lower tank, read troubleshooting section on page 6. 3. To purge air from tanks, first place a glass under right spigot and press and hold COLD button until erratic water flow becomes steady (about 1-3 minutes). Repeat with ROOM button.
