PARTS

NOTE : Internal components of the Filter are treated with silver to help inhibit bacterial growth.

To Set Up and Use

1. Remove the Lid by pulling up on both sides.

2. Remove the Filter (in packaging) from the Reservoir and set it aside.

3. Hand wash the Pitcher, Reservoir, and Lid with a soft cloth or sponge and a mild liquid soap. Rinse and let dry.
   NOTICE : The scrubber side of a sponge will slightly scratch the surface of the Pitcher, so use the soft side.
   

4. Replace the reservoir into the pitcher. The tallest part of the reservoir must face the front of the Pitcher.

5. Prepare and Install the Filter:
   Use cold or room temperature water.
   a. Wash your hands and then remove the Filter from its package. Soak it upright in water for 10 minutes.
   b. Rinse the Filter under running water for 10 seconds.
   c**. Press it firmly down into the tube of the Reservoir to ensure a tight seal.
   

6. Attach the Lid.

7. Fill the Pitcher:
   ** Always use cold or room temperature water when filling the Pitcher.
   Press down on the tab next to the Filter Life Indicator to open the hole in the Lid. Fill the Reservoir with water and allow all the water to filter through. Discard the water and repeat. The third pitcher of water is ready for drinking.

   • Always allow all the water in the Reservoir to pass through the Filter before pouring the water.
     

8. Set the Filter Life Indicator:
   Use the dials to select a date one month in the future. If the day you wish to select is not available, select the next available day.
   

For best results:

• Keep the Filter moist by maintaining the water level in the Pitcher above the bottom of the Filter.
• Store the Pitcher in the refrigerator or in a cool location. If the water has been sitting for several days, discard it and refill the Pitcher with fresh water.

Replacing the Filter

Replace the Filter every 30 days or every 160 liters. Pull it out of the Pitcher by its Loop. Repeat steps 5-8 to install a new Filter.

Care And Maintenance

NOTICE:

• Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or pads on the product.
• Do not place any part of the product in a dishwasher for cleaning.

To Clean:

Clean the pitcher, reservoir and lid as described in step 3. A small brush may be used to remove any deposits, which mostly occur near the edges of the parts.
