Setup and Use Guide

Initial Setup

1. Unpack: Remove the dispenser and the included Standard filter from the packaging.
2. Prepare the Filter:
   • Remove the filter from its packaging.
   • Soak the filter in cold water for 15 minutes.
   • Rinse under cold running water for 15 seconds.
3. Install the Filter:
   • Open the lid of the dispenser.
   • Insert the prepared filter into the filter housing at the top of the reservoir. Push down firmly until it clicks into place.
4. Fill and Prime:
   • Fill the reservoir with cold tap water.
   • Close the lid securely.
   • Dispense and discard the first three full containers of water to prime the filter and remove carbon dust. This water is not for drinking.
5. Set Filter Indicator: Attach the included filter change indicator sticker to the dispenser or fridge and set the date for 2 months from now.

Daily Use

1. Open the lid and fill the reservoir with cold tap water.
2. Close the lid until it locks. The easy-locking lid helps prevent spills.
3. Place the dispenser on a flat, stable surface, such as a kitchen countertop or inside a refrigerator shelf.
4. To dispense water, place a cup or container under the spigot and press the lever on the precision-pour spigot.

Filter Replacement

Replace the filter when the indicator shows it's time (every 40 gallons/2 months for Standard, 120 gallons/6 months for Elite), or if water flow slows significantly.

1. Lift the lid and remove the old filter by pulling it straight up from the housing.
2. Prepare a new Brita Standard or Elite filter by soaking and rinsing it as described in the Initial Setup.
3. Insert the new filter into the housing until it clicks into place.
4. Prime the new filter by dispensing and discarding the first three containers of water.
5. Reset your filter change indicator sticker to the new replacement date.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular Cleaning

• Wipe the exterior of the dispenser with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Regularly clean the lid and spigot area to prevent buildup.

Deep Cleaning the Reservoir

1. Remove the filter and set it aside.
2. Wash the reservoir with mild dish soap and warm water. Use a soft bottle brush if needed.
3. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
4. Reinstall the filter and prime with water as described in the Initial Setup.

Troubleshooting

• Water is not dispensing / Slow flow: Check that the filter is properly installed and not expired. A clogged, old filter is the most common cause.
• Water tastes unusual: Ensure you have primed a new filter correctly. Confirm the filter has not exceeded its recommended lifespan.
• Lid is difficult to close: Ensure the filter is fully seated and not obstructing the lid.
• Leaking from spigot: Ensure the spigot lever is fully returning to the closed position. Check for debris obstructing the seal.

Safety and Compliance

• Use only with cold tap water. Do not use with hot water.
• Use only genuine Brita Standard (OB03) or Elite (OB06) filters. The use of non-Brita filters is not recommended.
• Do not place near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
• Keep out of reach of small children.
• For compliance information, refer to the Certificate of Compliance available from the manufacturer.
