To ensure that you get the best results from your BRITA water lter jug, please follow the instructions carefully. 1 Cleaning instructions for your new BRITA water lter jug before rst use and after every water lter exchange Funnel and jug Dishwasher safe (max. 50 °C). For best cleaning results, turn the funnel upside down and let tap water ow through the valve for a few seconds. If your BRITA water lter jug has been in contact with food that is likely to cause discolouration (e.g. tomato ketchup, mustard) clean your BRITA water lter jug. To avoid possible discolouration of your BRITA water lter jug, do not include it in a dishwasher containing dirty crockery from such foods. Lid with BRITA Smart Light.

Before cleaning the lid in the dishwasher please remove the BRITA Smart Light from the lid by turning it anti-clockwise.

The removed BRITA Smart Light must not be washed in the dishwasher. After removal clean the BRITA Smart Light by hand using a soft and damp cloth. After cleaning the lid simply insert the BRITA Smart Light back into the lid by turning it clockwise as far as it will turn.

The lid must not be washed in the dishwasher. Clean the lid by hand. Please use mild detergents but no abrasive cleaners. For descaling the lid and the BRITA Smart Light use common household citric acid based descaling uids. Tip 2 Preparation of the MAXTRA+ water lter

For quality you can trust: BRITA hot steam treatment for ultimate hygiene in every MAXTRA+ water lter. Remove the protective wrapper from the MAXTRA+ water lter (Note: The MAXTRA+ water lter may be damp from steam treatment process). Fill the clean jug with cold water. Immerse the MAXTRA+ water lter in cold water and shake it gently to remove any air bubbles. Remove the MAXTRA+ water lter and discard the used water. 3 Insert the MAXTRA+ water lter

For optimal ltration results it is key that the MAXTRA+ water lter is properly inserted. The new BRITA PerfectFit system gives you reassurance of a proper ltration by allowing water to only ow when the BRITA MAXTRA+ water lter is fully inserted and creating the right seal. Insert the funnel (4) into the jug (5). Place the MAXTRA+ water lter into the hollow of the funnel and push downwards until it is positioned rmly. If there is no water ow through the funnel after lling the jug with water, the water lter is not fully inserted. Please press the water lter a bit further down and try again. BRITA water lter jugs are especially designed to t with MAXTRA+ water lters. BRITA can therefore only guarantee optimal ltration when using a BRITA MAXTRA+ water lter.4 Filling of the BRITA water lter jug The lling method depends on the features in the lid of your BRITA water lter model.

III. Important notes

Do not expose your BRITA water lter jug to direct sunlight. Keep your BRITA water lter jug away from heating elements, e.g. oven, coffee machine. Store your BRITA water lter jug in a shady, cool place. BRITA ltered water is dedicated for human consumption only. It is a perishable food and as such please consume it within one day. Ensure that you have a new MAXTRA+ water lter ready for exchange. BRITA recommends to store your MAXTRA+ water lter in their original wrapping in a cool and dry place. Over the lifetime of the BRITA water lter jug you may notice limescale build-up on the lid. This is due to the fact that it always comes into contact with unltered water, which contains carbonate hardness (limescale). BRITA recommends that you clean and descale your lid and the BRITA Smart Light on a regular basis with common household citric acid based descaling uid. In case you drop the BRITA Smart Light please check for any damages and replace, if damages are visible. Disposal should follow all applicable provisions and regulations. Please keep the BRITA Smart Light out of the reach of children (risk of swallowing). Should your BRITA water lter jug not be in use for a prolonged period (e.g. holiday), BRITA recommends that you take out the MAXTRA+ water lter, discard any water left inside the BRITA water lter jug and loosely insert the MAXTRA+ water lter again. Before using the BRITA water lter jug again take out the MAXTRA+ water lter, clean the water lter and repeat steps 3 to 5 of the „Quality from the very start”. Please pay special attention to your BRITA water lter exchange indicator. If your BRITA water lter jug has been in contact with food that is likely to cause discolouration (e.g. tomato ketchup, mustard) clean your BRITA water lter jug. To avoid possible discolouration of your BRITA water lter jug, do not include it in a dishwasher containing dirty crockery from such foods. Optimum performance Please lter cold tap water only. In the event: lter rst, and then boil BRITA water lter jugs are designed for use only with municipally treated tap water (note: this water is constantly controlled and according to legal regulations safe to drink) or with water from private supplies which has been tested as safe to drink. If an instruction is received from the authorities that mains water must be boiled, then BRITA ltered water must also be boiled. When the instruction to boil water is no longer in force, the entire BRITA water lter jug must be thoroughly cleaned and a new MAXTRA+ water lter inserted. For certain groups of people (e.g. those with impaired immunity and for babies), it is generally recommended that tap water should be boiled; this also applies to BRITA ltered water. Irrespective of the water used, you should use utensils with stainless steel or kettles with concealed elements. In particular, people who are sensitive to nickel should use appliances made of stainless steel or kettles with concealed elements. Ultimate hygiene For hygiene reasons, the MAXTRA+ water lter contents are subject to special treatment with silver. A very small amount of silver may be transferred to the water. This transference would be within the World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines. Sensitive to potassium? During the ltering process, there may be a slight increase in potassium content. However, one litre of BRITA ltered water contains less potassium than e.g. an apple. If you have kidney disease and/ or follow a potassium restricted diet, we recommend that you consult your doctor before using a BRITA water lter jug.Natural traces Like each natural product, the consistency of the BRITA Micro Carbon Pearls is subject to natural variances. This can lead to a slight abrasion of small carbon particles into your ltered water, noticeable as black bits. These particles have no negative health effects. If ingested, they will not harm the human body. In case you observe carbon particles, BRITA recommends to ush the water lter several times or until the black bits disappear. Correctly dispose of BRITA Smart Light and BRITA Memo The BRITA Smart Light and BRITA Memo contain a battery and have a life of approx. ve years. At the end of their lives please remember that these devices must be disposed according to all applicable provision and regulations. To dispose of the exhausted BRITA Smart Light please remove it from the lid by turning it anti- clockwise A1 . To remove the exhausted BRITA Memo place a screwdriver in the notch next to the BRITA Memo and push it out. Please note that the BRITA Memo should not be removed for any other reason than to dispose of it. Exclusion of liability Please understand that BRITA cannot accept any liability on their part if you do not follow the given usage instructions. Dispose of the jug in accordance with local regulations.AT BRITA GmbH Heinrich-Hertz-Str. 4 D-65232 Taunusstein Verbraucherservice: Tel.: [phone]
