BEFORE USING YOUR WATER FILTER COOLER
Before using your water filter cooler for the first time it is recommended that the unit is flushed
through with fresh tap water. Please ensure that you read the following instructions before
flushing your water filter cooler several times.

Remove your water filter cooler carefully from the box. You may wish to store the
packaging for future use.

3.
Wash the clear plastic upper lid and filtered water tank in warm soapy water rinse and dry
thoroughly.
4.
Reassemble the tanks as shown opposite.
5.
Position the water filter cooler on a stable flat surface close to a mains power socket not
in direct sunlight and out of reach from children.
6.
Make sure that there is sufficient space around the water filter cooler to allow the heat
extracted during the chilling process to dissipate. Leave a gap of least 5 cm between the
ventilation slots on the rear of the cooler and any wall or surface.
Do not plug the unit in or install the BRITA filter cartridge yet.
7.
Lift the hinged lid and using a suitable jug, pour 2 liters of clean tap water into the tank.
While pouring the water place a glass under the dispenser and push the lever back to
drain the water.
NOTE:
Keeping the lever open allows the air in the internal tank to be replaced with water .This
means that when the unit is first used water will flow and no air blocks can develop. It may take
some time for the water to flow through.

Place a glass under the dispenser, push the lever back and drain the water.

Repeat this process several times.
PREPARING THE BRITA MAXTRA CARTRIDGE FOR USE
1.
Remove the cartridge from its wrapping (it is normal for the cartridge to appear moist
during storage this is simply condensation).
2.
Immerse the cartridge in cold water and agitate gently to remove any air bubbles.
NOTE:
There is no need to pre-soak this cartridge before use.
3.
Remove the lid from the upper water tank.
4.
Insert the filter cartridge into the water tank as shown below. Push it firmly into place.
When correctly fitted the cartridge should remain in place when the tank is turned upside-down.
1.
Place the upper tank on a suitable bowl or jug. Fill with cold tap water up to the MAX FILL
LEVEL and allow to filter through. Discard the first two fillings. These first two fillings are
used to flush the filter cartridge. Place the upper tank back into the unit.
