Using your Water Filter
& Chiller
Before using your Water filter
• Place a large container or jug under the
& chiller
spout.
• Carefully unpack the appliance and check
that all the components are included.
• Press the dispenser lever until all the water
is dispensed and the water tank is empty.
• Remove the filter cartridge and keep in a
safe place.
• Repeat this flushing process twice with cold
tap water and discard.
• Remove the lid and filtering tank and wash
in warm soapy water, rinse and wipe dry.
Do not re-insert until (a) flushing process
and (b) preparation of filter cartridge
procedures, as explained below, have been
completed.
• Please note that when flushing for the first
time, while pressing the dispensing lever,
no water will be dispensed until the tank is
almost empty as it will be filling the chilling
tank.
• Do not fill above the maximum level
indicated.
• Wipe out the filtered water tank with a
damp cloth which has been soaked in
water.
• Please note that you should carry out these
steps without the Maxtra cartridge in place.
• Position the appliance on a dry, level and
secure bench top. Allow a good airflow
around the appliance so do not place
directly against a wall.
• Plug the appliance into an appropriate
electrical outlet and switch on.
• A white power on light will be illuminated to

Using your Water Filter & Chiller (continued)
Preparing the Brita® Maxtra filter
• Once the water has been filtered, you can
cartridge for use
refill this section.
• Remove the cartridge from its wrapping (it is
normal for the cartridge to appear moist).
• This will then filter through as water is
dispensed.
• Immerse the cartridge in cold water and
agitate gently to remove any air bubbles
(see figure 1).
• 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.
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 in to the sink until empty. This is to
flush through any dry carbon dust.
• Then insert the filtering tank into the water
tank. Now refill with cold tap water, and the
system is ready for use.
note: Repeat the cartridge preparation
process each time you insert a new cartridge.

Using your Water Filter & Chiller (continued)
filtering time
• 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 3).
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.
