7 Exchange of the MAXTRA+ water filter
L
Pull the MAXTRA+ water filter out. Follow the instructions for "Quality from the very start"
from step 1 to 6
III. Important notes
Do not expose your BRITA water filter jug to direct sunlight. Keep your BRITA water filter
jug away from heating elements, e.g. oven, coffee machine. Store your BRITA water filter
jug in a shady, cool place.
BRITA filtered water is dedicated for human consumption only. It is a perishable food and
as such please consume it within one day.
Ensure that you have a new MAXTRA+ water filter ready for exchange. BRITA
recommends to store your MAXTRA+ water filter in their original wrapping in a cool and
dry place.
Over the lifetime of the BRITA water filter jug you may notice limescale build-up on the
lid. This is due to the fact that it always comes into contact with unfiltered water, which
contains carbonate hardness (limescale). BRITA recommends that you clean and descale
your lid and the BRITA Smart Light on a regular basis with common household citric
acid based descaling fluid. In case you drop the BRITA Smart Light please check for
any damages and replace, if damages are visible. Disposal should follow all applicable
provisions and regulations. Please keep the BRITA Smart Light out of the reach of children
(risk of swallowing). Should your BRITA water filter jug not be in use for a prolonged period
(e.g. holiday), BRITA recommends that you take out the MAXTRA+ water filter, discard
any water left inside the BRITA water filter jug and loosely insert the MAXTRA+ water filter
again. Before using the BRITA water filter jug again take out the MAXTRA+ water filter,
clean the water filter and repeat steps 3 to 5 of the „Quality from the very start". Please pay
special attention to your BRITA water filter exchange indicator. If your BRITA water filter jug
has been in contact with food that is likely to cause discolouration (e.g. tomato ketchup,
mustard) clean your BRITA water filter jug. To avoid possible discolouration of your BRITA
water filter jug, do not include it in a dishwasher containing dirty crockery from such foods.
Optimum performance
Please filter cold tap water only.
In the event: filter first, and then boil
BRITA water filter jugs are 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 as safe to drink. If an instruction is
received from the authorities that mains water must be boiled, then BRITA filtered water
must also be boiled. When the instruction to boil water is no longer in force, the entire
BRITA water filter jug must be thoroughly cleaned and a new MAXTRA+ water filter
inserted. 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. Irrespective of the water used, you should use utensils with stainless steel
or kettles with concealed elements. In particular, people who are sensitive to nickel should
use appliances made of stainless steel or kettles with concealed elements.
Ultimate hygiene
For hygiene reasons, the MAXTRA+ water filter 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.
Sensitive to potassium?
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 jug.
