Putting into operation
Before first use, clean the FilterKettle
like described in the section “Cleaning
and Maintenance”.
To open the lid, pull
the button in the lid
in the direction of
the handle. The filter
holder (1) can be
pulled out by its
handle (2). During
the pouring, the sieve in the pouring
spout holds back the active carbon
particles from the filter cartridge or
the chalk particles burst off from the
heating.
For cleaning you can pull it up. Any
length of the cord which is not requi-
red can be rolled up at the bottom of
the base. Plug only into an earthed
socket.
Aqua Optima
®
Filter cartridge
The Aqua Optima
®
filter cartridge
reduces chalk and other unwanted
substances like e.g. chlorine, lead or
copper in the tap water. Odour,
colour and taste of beverages and
food are improved since the aroma
can optimally develop itself in this
way.
Reference:
Fluoride added for caries
prophylaxis will not be reduced.

Take out the filter cartridge (4) from
the packing and rinse it in cold water
until air bubbles stop coming out.
Make sure that the sealing ring (3) on
the filter container (1) is put in place
properly as shown

Should it come off,
put it with the flat
side downwards on
the fixing ribs of the
filter container.
Place the filter cartridge (4) into the
insert of the filter container (1) and
turn it anti-clockwise
until it locks in
place. Place the
complete filter con-
tainer (1) into the
kettle and press it
downwards until it
engages.
A new filter cartridge has to firstly be
rinsed twice. To do this : fill the filter
container (1) up to
its max marking (5)
with tap water. Pour
out the filtered
water and then
rinse the kettle pro-
perly.
The effectiveness of the filter cartrid-
