Getting the best from your new water filter
kettle...
Safety first
Always pour water slowly and carefully to prevent the
splashing of scalding water.
Empty the water out of the kettle after first boiling
To clean away any deposits that are left in the kettle after the
manufacturing process.
Filling your water filter kettle
When filling your filter kettle, the water must cover the
element. The minimum is 1 cup or 30cls. Do not overfill past
the maximum mark as the filtration will be impaired.
BRITA water filter cartridge
PLEASE NOTE: It is quite normal to see black particles in the
bottom of the cartridge pack and in the top compartment
when in use. Please be assured that these particles are not
harmful to you or your filter kettle and you should not be
concerned if you see any.
