Your 24 Series desktop has been manufactured using FDA
approved materials and has been tested to comply with
regulatory requirements for use in Australia and New Zealand.
Notwithstanding the above, it is recommended to follow the
flushing procedure below to prime your system ready for use.
FLUSHING PROCEDURE
1.
Combine two tablespoons of baking soda; bicarbonate soda,
with 2 litres of luke-warm water into a separate jug
or container and set aside.
Remove the Unfiltered Water Chamber from the cooler
(part 5, pg 4 of user manual)
Pour the bicarbonate mixture into the Filtered Water Chamber
(part 6, pg 4 of user manual).
Hold the right hand side tap lever (“chilled water tap”) in for 30
seconds, or until water comes out from the tap. This ensures
the bicarbonate mixture has entered the internal water tank.
Cycle the bicarbonate mixture through the front taps and
re-pour back into the top reservoir. Repeat this process
a couple of times.
Turn power on and allow the bicarbonate mixture to sit in
the cooler for a minimum of 4 hours (ideally leave overnight).
6 INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Drain all the bicarbonate mixture out through the front taps
until you can no longer drain any water.
Remove the Drain Plug cap (part 13, pg 4 of user manual)
from underneath the unit to drain any excess water in
the cooling tank. This is important to ensure all of the
bicarbonate mixture is removed from the cooler.
While the Drain Plug cap is open, pour 2L of water through
to remove any excess bicarbonate mixture from the system.
Reinstate drain cap and Unfiltered Water Chamber.
10. Flush clean water through the unit and drain out via taps. Tilt
the unit back and forth to remove trapped water from unit.

Cold Tap (right hand side tap) down to ensure that water has
entered into the internal water tank. Hold the Cold Tap down
