Start Up Procedures

1 Remove pitcher lid cover.

2 Unwrap filter cartridge and submerge the cartridge in clean water. Allow cartridge to soak for 15 minutes to flush out any loose, small carbon particles, which may be present in your water from the filter, but are not harmful.
3 Wash the pitcher, lid and reservoir with soap and warm water and rinse thoroughly. NOTE: NOT DISHWASHER SAFE. DO NOT WASH FILTER CARTRIDGE.
Place the reservoir into the pitcher. Make sure the spout and handle recess on the reservoir are in the correct orientation.

5 Push filter cartridge firmly into reservoir to create a good seal.

Start Up Procedures (cont.)

6 Install battery.

• Remove battery and monitor assembly from plastic bag inside the pitcher. Turn the monitor cover over and remove battery cover by removing the screw and prying the cover off.

• Insert one CR2032, 3 volt battery positive "+" side up under the retaining clip.

NOTE: Make sure the positive (+) side of the battery is up.

• Replace the battery cover by pressing around the lip to make sure it is fully installed.
• The blue light will flash five times, indicating that the timer is working. NOTE: If the blue light does not flash, check battery orientation.
• Press the monitor cover into place on the handle. It will snap when it is in the proper position.

7 Replace lid cover. The lid will snap when it is in the proper location. Open the sliding lid and fill the reservoir with cold tap water and set the pitcher aside. Filtered water will begin to collect in the bottom of the pitcher. Continue to add water until the filtered water in the pitcher reaches the bottom of the reservoir. Do not overfill. Keep water below the bottom edge of the slot (see illustration below). Close the sliding lid on the pitcher.

Fill to the bottom edge of the sliding lid track.

After the filtered water has collected in the bottom of the pitcher discard the water. Refill the pitcher, allow water to collect in bottom, then discard the filtered water. Once two full pitchers of water have been discarded, refill pitcher and allow to collect in bottom. Pitcher is now ready to use.

NOTE: If small, black particles are present in the filtered drinking water, the filter cartridge may not have been thoroughly flushed. These particles are harmless, simply discard the water in pitch and fill again.

8 Keep pitcher filter refrigerated at all times. After 3 to 4 days, replace unused water with fresh, clean water.

Indicator Light

The filtration pitcher is equipped with a blue indicator light on the handle.
