Important information
– Always store spare filter cartridges
sealed in the original packaging in a cool
and dry place.
– BRITA water filters are designed for use
only with municipally treated tap water
(note: this water is constantly control-
led and according to legal regulations
safe to drink) or with water from private
supplies which has been tested as safe
to drink. If an instruction is received from
the authorities that mains water must be
boiled, the BRITA filtered water must also
be boiled. When the instruction to boil
water is no longer in force, the appliance
and filter funnel must be cleaned and
a new cartridge inserted to ensure any
residual contaminants are removed.
– Please filter cold tap water only.
– Clean the appliance and filter funnel
regularly.
– For certain groups of people (e.g. those
with impaired immunity and for babies), it
is generally recommended that tap water
should be boiled; this also applies to
BRITA filtered water.
– For hygiene reasons, the MAXTRA
cartridge contents are subject to special
treatment with silver. A very small
amount of silver may be transferred to
the water. This transference would be
within the World Health Organisation
(WHO) guidelines.
– During the filtering process, there may be
a slight increase in potassium content.
However, one litre of BRITA filtered water
contains less potassium than e.g. an
apple. If you have kidney disease and/
or follow a potassium restricted diet, we
recommend that you consult your doctor
before using a BRITA water filter.
– Should your BRITA appliance not be in
use for a prolonged period (e.g. holiday),
BRITA recommends that you take out the
cartridge, discard any water left inside
the BRITA water filter and loosely insert
the MAXTRA cartridge again. Before us-
ing the BRITA water filter again take out
the cartridge, clean the appliance and
funnel thoroughly and repeat the steps
of the instructions for use in chapter:
"Preparing and installing the BRITA
MAXTRA filter cartridge".
– BRITA filtered water is dedicated for
human consumption. It is a perishable
food and as such please consume within
1 to 2 days.
