NOTE: You may reset the timer at any time by pressing and holding the Start button for 3 seconds. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Once setup is completed, tanks are filled and water is flowing steadily, your unit is ready to use! 1. Close the lid and plug unit into outlet. 2. Press the On/Off power switch on the control panel to turn on. The BLUE light around the power switch indicates the unit is on and cooling and heating functions are activated. 3. After about 15 minutes, the RED hot water indicator will light up, signaling hot water is ready to dispense. NOTE: Energy Saver switch must be in the Off position for water to heat. 4. After about 1 hour and 20 minutes, the BLUE cold water indicator will light up, signaling water is chilled. NOTE: On subsequent fill-ups, unit should take less than 10 minutes to heat and 30 minutes to chill. 5. Press and hold each button to ensure all air has been purged from the unit so water flow is steady. Initiating Energy Saver Mode You can turn off the heater used to heat the water in the hot tank to reduce the system's energy usage by more than 50%. While in Energy Saver mode, you can still dispense water from your hot tank; however, it will not be heated. NOTE: We recommend you power your unit off when only room temperature filtered water is needed. 1. Put the Energy Saver switch in its On position. 2. The green LED will light up, indicating your unit is in Energy Saver mode. 3. Because your unit is in Energy Saver mode and your hot water heater is disabled, the red LED hot water indicator light will turn off when the temperature of the hot water decreases (this can take up to 2 hours). 4. To resume your hot water, simply put the Energy Saver switch in its Off position. After about 15 minutes, the red LED hot water indicator will light up, signaling hot water is ready to dispense. NOTE: If your unit has been in Energy Saver mode for longer than a week, we recommend you flush out your hot water tank by dispensing and disposing of a full glass of water from the left spigot before enjoying your first glass of hot water. REPLACING WATER FILTER Replacement filters may be purchased at most retail outlets or To replace your filter, follow “Water Filter Setup” on page 4. TIPS AND HINTS • Drinking 4 to 8 glasses of water each day is healthy! Your countertop chiller makes it easy. • Regular use of cleaner, filtered water in your automatic coffeemaker means less frequent decalcification treatments. • Use filtered water in your iron to reduce mineral build-up. • Treat your pets to cleaner, filtered water. • Cleaner, filtered water makes tea and instant soup or coffee taste better. • Keeping the upper tank full helps increase the filtering process as well as the flow rate of water from spigots. • Proper setup of the filter (as instructed on page 4) will maximize the reduction of contaminants and optimize taste of water. • You may notice some condensation and water droplets on the lid and tanks of your unit. This is normal due to the heating and cooling system.
