water tank. Place the drip
tray under the outlet. The system is pre-fitted with filter cartridges for
your convenience.

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

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.

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!
