The minimum flow at dispenser is approximately
10 fluid ounces in nine seconds with a new filter in
place or approximately 10 fluid ounces in five seconds
without a filter.
Allow approximately 12 hours for water in holding tank
to chill.
This is normal when first using the dispenser and will
disappear with use.
Initial water ejected through cartridge may contain
harmless carbon dust flushed from cartridge. Will
disappear after the first few uses.
Particles are not harmful and naturally occur in water
supplies.
