BEFORE USING YOUR WATER FILTER/CHILLER 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. 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. 6.
PREPARING THE FILTER CARTRIDGE 1. Place the upper tank on a suitable bowl or jug. Fill with cold tap water up to the MAX FILL LEVEL mark on the upper water tank and allow the water to filter through. 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. Maximum fill level mark ✎ NOTE There is no need to pre-soak this cartridge before use.
USING YOUR WATER FILTER/CHILLER 4. Plug the unit into the mains supply. Press the chiller ON/OFF switch on the front of the unit. The switch will illuminate and the machine will begin to chill the water. 1. Lift the hinged lid and using a suitable jug, carefully pour water into the tank up to the MAX FILL LEVEL. This may take some time due to the action of the filter. 5.
USING YOUR WATER FILTER/CHILLER For optimum enjoyment, we recommend that if your water chiller has not been used for 1 day or more, you first draw half a glass of water and dispose of it. It is possible to use the unit without power but the water will not be chilled. Remember that water is a foodstuff. Please consume filtered water within 2 days. ✎ NOTE There is a risk of leakage from the split joint between the top tank and filtered water tank.
USING THE BRITA MEMO FUNCTION It is important to change your BRITA water filter cartridge regularly to enjoy the benefits of BRITA filtered water. The BRITA Memo system automatically reminds you when your water filter cartridge needs to be changed. % 100 75 50 25 When you have fitted and prepared your water filter cartridge, start the Memo system as follows: • Press and hold the start button until four bars appear in the display and flash twice.

CHANGING THE BRITA MAXTRA FILTER CARTRIDGE The filter cartridge will need to be changed approximately once per month. 7. Follow the instructions in “Preparing the Filter Cartridge” on page 5. 1. Switch the water filter/chiller off and disconnect from the mains supply. 8. Insert the BRITA MAXTRA filter cartridge into its receptacle in the upper water tank. 2. Using the dispenser, (as described in Cleaning and Maintenance on page 10) completely drain the water from the tanks. 9.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE 9. To flush through the system pour approximately 2 litres of water into the tank, depress the dispensing lever until water starts to come out of the dispensing nozzle, and then empty using the drain plug at the bottom of the unit over a sink or large container.
