Connecting up the System

Step 1

Unpacking- Choose a suitable countertop, flat, secure, and out of easy reach of small children. Allow space to access the removal of the rear feed water tank. Place the drip
tray under the outlet. The system is pre-fitted with filter cartridges for your convenience.

Step 2

Fill water tank- Open the cover of the feed water tank located at the back of the unit, Lift the tank out from the rear of the system. Fill with potable (tap) water, replace the cover, and carefully fit the feed water tank into the base.
Note: When refilling the tank, always disregard the remaining water before refilling. DO NOT exceed the “MAX” level.

Step 3

Turn the system on – Plug into an electrical outlet. The blue power indicator will light on. The system enters a standby mode if not used for 10 minutes. Note: There is no
power switch; Unplug the device should you need to turn it off. Before use, all parts must be adequately flushed, follow instructions, System Flushing (Page 9).

System Flushing
Installing New Filters
If you are commissioning the system for the first time or have just replaced the filter cartridges, please refill the feed tank and then disregard all the water inside. Repeat this process 5-10 times to ensure the system is adequately flushed before use.
Infrequent System Use
To ensure the freshness of the drinking water, flush the system once using the following steps if the feed tank water has not been emptied/refilled for more than three days.

Always start the System flush with a new tank of potable (tap) water. Remove the feed water tank, empty it, and fill it with clean, fresh potable (tap) water.

Place a measuring jug or large container on the drip tray and have a second container ready to alternate as we need to flush the feed water tank through the system.

Turn the center dial clockwise more than 5 times when you hear two beeps, purified water will start to flow from the outlet until the internal tank is emptied of purified water.

DO NOT CONSUME WATER UNTIL FLUSHING IS COMPLETE

Boiling Point Adjustment
When the system is in Standby Mode, you can follow the steps below to adjust the ‘tea’ boiling point from 190℉ to 212℉ (88℃ – 100℃ ± 3℃) Please note: Higher elevations will decrease the boiling point of water. The boiling point of the device must not exceed the local boiling point, otherwise, hot water will splash. Once restart the system, it will remember its previous boiling point.

Turn the center dial counterclockwise more than 5 five times; when you hear two beeps and all the lights are illuminated, it means that the water purifier has entered boiling point adjustment mode.

To set the boiling point to 100℃ for the Tea mode, press the dial when all the four temperature mode indicators are illuminated. To lower the boiling point, proceed to step 3.

Turn the center dial clockwise to extinguish one indicator at a time; this will reduce the boiling point by increments of 3℃ until you reach the required Tea setting. If all four indicators are off, the boiling point is 88℃.

Press the center dial once to confirm the desired setting. The system will exit temperature adjustment mode after 3 seconds if no further input from the control panel.

Standby (Sleep) mode

If there’s no operation within 10 minutes, the purifier will enter standby (sleep) mode.
It can be awakened by turning or pressing the dial. However, if the dial is pressed, the system will automatically dispense Room Temperature water.

Top Tip:
When it’s time to refill the feed water tank, why not give your plants the remaining tank concentrate water instead of pouring it down the sink!
