• In order to meet our high quality standards, there are strict internal and external quality controls in place.
• Every MAXTRA PRO water filter undergoes treatment with hot steam for hygiene purposes during manufacture and is then packed in a protective foil. (Note: the water filter may be damp due to condensation following the steam treatment).

Clean before the first use and every time you change the water filter

• For optimum cleaning results, turn the BRITA PerfectFit funnel upside down and flush the BRITA PerfectFit mechanism with tap water for a few seconds (excluding BRITA Flow).
• The jug should be cleaned before the first use and when you change the water filter – the funnel and jug are dishwasher safe (max. 50° C) or can be cleaned by hand!
• Please clean your BRITA Flow only by hand with cold or lukewarm water.
• Glass Jug : In general, the Glass Jug sealing rings are dishwasher proof, but we still recommend washing them by hand. Otherwise, slight discoloration may occur. Dry it thoroughly before reattaching it to the funnel

Done!

Inserting the MAXTRA PRO water filter C

• The BRITA PerfectFit System has been developed to create a perfect fit and seal between the MAXTRA PRO water filter and the funnel.
• Insert the funnel into the jug and place the water filter firmly in the funnel.
• Please push the water filter further downwards if the water does not flow through.
• BRITA can only guarantee optimum filtration if BRITA MAXTRA PRO water filters are used.
• The BRITA PerfectFit System is not included in BRITA Flow.

Filling the BRITA water filter jug D E

• The water in the funnel is filtered automatically and flows into the jug.
• How the jug is filled will depend on the model or the type of lid.

Activating the MAXTRA PRO water filter F

• For optimal taste and performance please allow two full funnels of tap water to pass through the filter before drinking.
• To join BRITA in considering the environment, you can use this filtered water to water your plants, for example.
• Setting the water filter exchange indicator
  • How handy! The BRITA water filter jug will tell you when you need a new water filter.
  • There are different exchange indicators for this in the lid:

BRITA Smart Light G H I

• Its intelligent sensor not only measures the time since the water filter was last replaced, but also records the volume of filtered water.
• Before using the jug for the first time (and after every time you change the water filter), press the BRITA Smart Light reset button for approx. 5 – 10 seconds until the LED indicator flashes green three times.
• The jug is now ready to use.

The flashing light indicates when you should replace the filter:

• Green: The water filter is filtering optimally.
• Yellow: It will soon be time to change the water filter. Think about purchasing a new one!
• Red: Please change the water filter!
• You can check your filter status at any time by pressing briefly on the BRITA Smart Light.

BRITA Memo J K

• Remove the protective foil before using BRITA Memo for the first time.
• After activating the water filter, press and hold the „START“ button until four bars appear on the display and flash twice.
• The flashing dot in the bottom right of the display unit means: “Memo in operation”.
• A new water filter is required if the empty display unit flashes.

Changing the MAXTRA PRO water filter L
Simply remove the water filter and follow steps 1 to 6 of the instructions.

Important information

• Never place the BRITA water filter jug and the MAXTRA PRO water filter in full sun and keep away from heating elements (e.g. kettles or conventional ovens).
• It is better to store them in a dark, cool and dry place (and keep new water filters in their original packaging). Store the BRITA Smart Light out of the reach of children (risk of swallowing)!

Sensitive to potassium?

• Filtering initially causes a slight elevation in the potassium content of the water. This is harmless (e.g. 1 L of BRITA filtered water contains less potassium than an apple).
• Please consult your doctor before using a BRITA water filter if you suffer from kidney disease or have to follow a special low potassium diet.

Natural traces

• The BRITA activated carbon beads are of natural origin and so natural variations may occur.
• A low volume of small carbon particles can get into the filtered water, which you may see as black particles.
• These particles are not harmful to your health because they pass naturally through the body unchanged if swallowed.
• If you discover carbon particles in your filtered water, BRITA recommends rinsing the water filter until there are no more particles visible.
