for 5–10 minutes to remove all the air
bubbles.
3. Rinse for 1 minute under a running tap.
4. The filter cartridge is now ready for use.
FITTING THE FILTER INTO THE INNER
VESSEL
1. Fit the Aqua Optima filter cartridge into
the underside of the inner vessel and
rotate clockwise to lock into place.
Ensure that it is firmly secured.
2. Place the inner vessel back into the filter
jug ensuring the flat edge of the inner
vessel is facing towards the front of the jug.
3. Refit the lid.
4. Fill the inner vessel with cool water and
let it pass through the filter. Once it has
been filtered, discard the water. Repeat
the procedure once more.
5. Fill the inner vessel for a third time, your
water filter jug is now ready for use.
