Using your Water Filter & Chiller (continued)
Filtering time
Please note that on average it will take 5½
minutes to filter 1 litre of water through the
BRITA
®
MAXTRA cartridge.
Using the Memo function
It is important to change your filter cartridge
regularly to enjoy the benefits of filtered
water.
The BRITA
®
Memo system automatically
reminds you when your filter cartridge needs
to be changed. It is automatically calibrated
according to average use of one litre of water
per day and will remind you to change your
filter every 8 weeks. If you are a heavier user
than one litre per day you will need to change
your filter more often according to your usage
rate. A filter will effectively filter 150 litres of
water before needing replacement.
Once you have fitted and prepared your filter
cartridge as outlined on page 5, start the
Memo system as follows:
• Press and hold the Start button until 4
bars appear on the display and flash twice.
The Memo is now set. The flashing dot in
the corner of the display indicates that the
Memo is working. (See figure 3).
Note:
Repeat the cartridge preparation process
each time you insert a new cartridge.
• At the end of every two weeks, one
bar will disappear to indicate the
remaining cartridge life. When only one
bar is showing, ensure that you have a
replacement BRITA
®
MAXTRA water filter
cartridge available.
(See figure 4).
• After 8 weeks, all four bars will disappear
and a flashing arrow will appear to indicate
that the cartridge should be replaced.
(See figure 5).
Wash and dry the filter funnel, insert a new
cartridge (see 'Preparing the filter cartridge
for use') and restart the BRITA
®
Memo as
described above.
Note:
The Memo system is only intended to
be used with BRITA
®
filter cartridges.
