Filling the Internal Tanks

NOTE: Lower tank 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 to 4 months, or 80 gallons.

1. Once unit is set up and all water tanks are full,

peel off the “Filtering” sticker from the filter
timer screen.

2. Press and hold the Start button until

“Filtering” is displayed (approx. 3 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 3 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. 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.

4. Press and hold each button to ensure all air

has been purged from the unit so water flow
is steady.

REPLACING WATER FILTER

under Operating Instructions 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 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.

• Keeping upper tank full helps increase filtering

process as well as flow rate of water from
spigots.

• Proper setup of the filter (as instructed

on page 4) will maximize the reduction of
contaminants and optimize taste of water.
