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.

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.
