QUICK START GUIDE
Before First Use
• Wash and rinse out the plastic water tanks thoroughly
before use.
• Remove the lter from its packaging then fully cover and
soak in cold clean water for 30 minutes and then rinse off
under cold clean running tap water
• You may notice a ne black dust come out of the lter. This
will happen on all new lters and when water is ltered
through it the rst couple of uses. This is no cause for
alarm. It is just the dust from the activated carbon inside
the lter. Although it looks unsightly, it will not harm you.
• Insert lter and ensure it sits at and fully seated.
When you turn on the switch to “on” at the back of the unit, you will
