preparing the BRITA
®
MAXTRA
®
cartridge
1. Remove the cartridge from its wrapping (it is normal
for the cartridge to appear moist during storage).
2. Immerse the cartridge in cold water and shake gently
to remove any air bubbles. There is no need to pre-
soak this cartridge before use.
3.
Insert the cartridge into the filter funnel and push it
firmly into place. When correctly fitted, the cartridge
should remain in place when the funnel is turned
upside-down.
4.
Fill the filter funnel with cold tap water and allow it
to filter through, then discard the water. Repeat this
process, again discarding the water.
5.
Refill the filter funnel with water - the BRITA
®
MAXTRA
®
cartridge is now ready for use. You do not
need to keep the filter cartridge immersed in water.
