Note
① Replace the water filter every 6 months.
② After replacing the filter, run about 2.5 gallons of water to check for water leaks.
③ When dispensing water with a new filter, water may come out black for a while. It’s because of the charcoal (activated carbon) powder in the filter. Rest assured that it is harmless to human health.
