Important information
• The fridge door valve hole must be closed
with the Water Valve during the regular
functioning of the appliance.
• Use only drinking water. The use of any
other drink type can leave residues, taste
or odor in the reservoir and in the tap.
• It is possible to hear some noises caused
by air entering when the water left the res-
ervoir.
• In case the water does not flow well, press
the driving lever once again. Keep the
glass below the tap for some instants, in
order to assure that all the water is collec-
ted by the glass.
• Do not use gasified drinks, such as soft
drinks. The drink can leak due to the gas
pressure.
• Remember that water is a foodstuff.
Please consume filtered water within one
to two days.
• Should your BRITA water filter unit not be
in use for a prolonged period (e.g. vaca-
tion), we recommend that you discard any
water left inside the system and leave the
cartridge inside the filter tank.
Before using the system again take out the
cartridge and repeat steps 1 to 4 of "How
to use the BRITA MAXTRA filter cartridge".
• The BRITA water filter unit is designed for
use only with municipally treated tap water
(note: this water is constantly controlled
and according to legal regulations safe to
drink) or with water from private supplies
which has been tested safe to drink.
If an instruction is received from the au-
thorities that mains water must be boiled,
the BRITA filtered water has also to be
boiled. When the instruction to boil water
is no longer in force, the entire filter system
must be cleaned and a new cartridge in-
serted.
More information on the use of BRITA filter
cartridges and the Memo can be found in the
BRITA information guide.
You can purchase new BRITA filter car-
tridges and Memo through consumer
service network of Electrolux or BRITA.
