BEFORE USING THE WATER CHILLER FOR THE FIRST
TIME
• Remove all packaging.
• Remove the top cover and extract the upper tank. Wash,
rinse and dry thoroughly.
ATTENTION: FIRST USE. DO NOT PLUG THE UNIT IN OR
INSTALL THE FILTER CARTRIDGE YET.
• Pour at least 2.5 litres of fresh water into the tank using
a container. Place a glass under the dispensing tap and
push the water dispenser lever back to drain the water.
Repeat this process several times, pouring each glass of
water away.
PREPARING THE AQUA OPTIMA EVOLVE WATER
FILTER CARTRIDGE
Aqua Optima is a unique water filtration system developed to
deliver filtered water quickly – reducing chlorine, limescale,
organics, herbicides, pesticides, lead and other heavy
metals.
1. Remove all packaging from the filter
cartridge. There may be a small residue
of black carbon particles in the bag or
adhering to the cartridge body; this is
normal. These particles are harmless and
are washed off during the preparation
process.
2. Soak the cartridge in a bowl of water for
5-10 minutes to remove all air bubbles. (A)
3. Flush for 1 minute under a running tap. (B)
4. The filter cartridge is now ready for use.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
• Remove the plug from the socket.
• Remove the top cover and take out the upper water tank.
• Ensure the seal ring is installed correctly.
• Fit the water filter cartridge into the
underside of the upper tank, rotating
clockwise to lock into place. Ensure it is
firmly secured. (C)
• Re-insert the upper tank and pour in
water until both the tanks are full. Water
will flow through the filter at a set rate and may take some
time due to the action of the filter cartridge.
• During normal use top up the tanks regularly.
• Do not overfill the filtered water tank, leave at least 5mm
to avoid risk of water overflow in the upper tank.
• Fit the lid, plug the unit into the electrical mains supply
and switch on. The power light will illuminate blue and the
appliance will begin to chill the water.
• Dispense 2 litres of water from the unit to remove any
unfiltered water and top up.
• When the cool light illuminates blue the filtered water
in the internal chilled water tank will be cooled to
appoximately ≤12 °C less than ambient temperature.
• The capacity of the internal chilled water tank is around
0.8L. There must always be water in the filtered water tank
to be able to dispense chilled water from the internal tank.
• Note: FIRST USE of the appliance. The internal chilled
water tank will take around 90mins to chill , thereafter the
full capacity of the internal tank will take up to an hour to
chill.
• Place a glass under the dispensing tap and push the
button to dispense water.
• Top up the upper tank as required.
• The total filtered (not chilled) capacity for this appliance is
7.4L as long as both the upper tank and the filtered water
tank are full.
Note: It is possible to use the appliance without power; in this
case the water will be correctly filtered but will not be cooled.
REPLACING THE AQUA OPTIMA EVOLVE FILTER
CARTRIDGE
Note: This water chiller is only intended for use with Aqua
Optima Evolve filters.
• Drain the water from the tanks and remove the lid.
• Take out the upper water tank and remove the filter
cartridge by rotating it anti-clockwise.
• Insert the new filter cartridge as described previously and
refit the upper tank and lid.
AQUA OPTIMA EVOLVE 30-DAY FILTER CARTRIDGE
A
To ensure the best performance, the filter cartridge should
be changed after 100 litres, which is approximately 30 days
of typical use.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
B
• Water is a foodstuff. We recommend using the filtered
A
water within 2 days. If the appliance is not used for more
than 48 hours fill it twice with cold water and empty the
1 Min
water before continuing to use it normally.
• Should the appliance not be used for an extended period
C
of time (for example a holiday) we recommend that the
B
filter is removed and placed in a clean plastic bag and
stored in the fridge. This will help to maintain the filter
when not in use. Before using the filter after storage, follow
1 Min
the preparation and fitting instructions for use as normal.
CLEANING
C
ATTENTION: NEVER PLACE THE APPLIANCE BODY, PLUG
OR POWER CORD IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS; ALWAYS
WIPE CLEAN WITH A DAMP CLOTH.
• Wash, rinse and dry the upper tank, filtered water tank
and the lid regularly, at least when the filter cartridge is
replaced.
• Do not use any washing-up liquid or anything that may
taint the water. Don't use harsh or abrasive cleaning
agents or solvents.
TO DRAIN THE WATER CHILLER COMPLETELY BEFORE
STORING
Remove plug from the electrical wall socket and empty both
tanks. To drain the internal tank at the rear of the appliance
open up the drain plug and drain the tank.
