Using your Water Filter & Chiller (continued)
Preparing the BRITA
®
MAXTRA filter cartridge
for use
• Remove the cartridge from its wrapping
(it is normal for the cartridge to appear
moist).
• Immerse the cartridge in cold water and
agitate gently to remove any air bubbles.
(See figure 1).
• Insert the cartridge into the 2 litre filtering
tank and push it firmly into place until
it ‘clicks’.
• Place the filtering tank into the sink. Fill
the filtering tank from the tap with cold
water, and allow the water to pass through
the filter into the sink until empty. This
first filling is used to activate the filter
cartridge.
• Insert the filtering tank into the water tank.
Now refill with cold tap water, and the
system is ready for use.
• To exchange the cartridge, simply use the
ring pull handle on the top of the cartridge
to remove it from the funnel.
(See figure 2).
Note:
Repeat the cartridge preparation
process each time you insert a new cartridge.
• Once the water has been filtered, you can
refill this section.
• This will then filter through as water is
dispensed.
• After approximately 4 hours, the power
light will change from white to blue to
indicate that the water has been chilled.
• The light may flicker from blue to white
as water is dispensed and if the ambient
temperature increases. The fan may be
activated in these conditions and will
remain so until the required temperature
has been reached.
