• Allow the filter to drain completely.
• Slide the water filter holder back into the
channel in the water reservoir, pushing it down
to the base of the unit.
NOTE: We
recommend changing
the water filter every
60 days or after 60
uses, and more often
if you have hard
water. Replacement
filters can be
purchased in stores,
