About Your Filtration System...
I'm trying to dispense water to
flush the system. Where's the water?
During initial use, allow about a 1 to 2 minute delay in
water dispersal to allow internal water tank to fill.
What if I choose not to use the water
filtration system?
Dispenser feature may be used without water filter cartridge.
If you choose this option, replace filter with blue bypass
cap.
