BEFORE USING YOUR WATER FILTER/CHILLER
Before using your water filter/chiller for
the first time, it is recommended that the
unit is flushed through with fresh water.
Please ensure that you read the following
instructions before flushing your water
filter/chiller several times.
1. Remove your water filter/chiller
carefully from the box. You may wish
to store the packaging for future use.
2. Check the contents:
• Water filter/chiller
• BRITA MAXTRA water filter cartridge
• User guide
• BRITA brochure
• BRITA registration card
3. Wash the clear plastic lid, upper and
filtered water tanks in warm soapy
water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. Reassemble the tanks as shown
below.
5. Position the water filter/chiller on a
stable flat surface, close to a mains
power socket, not in direct sunlight
and out of the reach of children.
6. Make sure that there is sufficient
space around the water filter/chiller
to allow the heat extracted during
the chilling process to dissipate.
Leave a gap of at least 15 cm
between the ventilation slots on the
rear of the chiller and any wall or
surface.
Do not plug the unit in or install the
filter cartridge yet.
7. Lift the hinged lid and using a
suitable jug, pour 2 litres of clean
water into the tank. Place a glass
under the dispenser and push the
dispensing lever back to drain all of
the water. It may take some time for
the water to initially flow through.
8. Repeat this process one more time.
