To change from municipal water to the lake or well water* mode follow the
instructions below:

FIGURE 5
To change back to municipal water mode, follow steps 1 and 2, press the process
button once. To indicate the program change is complete, the status indicator light will
flash amber once.
Step 4: Conditioning the Carbon-Block Filter
FIGURE 6
Once you have completed steps 1 through 3, press the process button. This button will
illuminate green and the conditioning cycle will begin. (FIGURE 7)
Each conditioning cycle will take about 6 minutes for municipal water or approximately
21 minutes for lake or well water.*
Once a conditioning cycle is complete, the process light will go off and the manual
dispense light will turn green. This water must be manually dispensed through the filter.
FIGURE 7
(FIGURE 8)
Repeat the conditioning process 3 more times using more fresh water with each cycle.
After 4 cycles, hand wash your clean water carafe with a mild detergent.

GETTING STARTED
The unit must be plugged in and not running.
Press and hold the process button (approx. 3 sec.) until the status indicator light
flashes green (FIGURE 5), then release. The unit will bubble until the light
starts flashing.
Press the process button twice. On the second press, hold until the status indicator
light stays green (FIGURE 6). To indicate the program change is complete, the
status indicator light will flash amber once.
If you change your water source from municipal water to lake or well
water* or the reverse, reset the mode. To reset follow the 1 to 3 above
instructions.
You should condition the carbon-block filter by running 4 cycles of
water through the system. Conditioning the carbon-block filter
ensures optimum performance taste and water quality.
During the conditioning process, any loose carbon dust is removed
from the carbon-block filter. This is a normal characteristic of
carbon-block filters and you will only see this happen during this
process. Do not drink this water. Discard it or use it to water your
house plants.
The carbon-block filter doesn't require submersion in water to activate
it. DO NOT SOAK THE CARBON-BLOCK FILTER IN WATER PRIOR TO USE.
(FIGURE 9)
When using a new carbon-block filter, initially you may experience
some spattering from the dispense nozzle after the completion of a
processing cycle. This is perfectly normal and usually stops when the
filter has become thoroughly soaked (after several additional cycles).
