1039567-00-ELA Water Filter Jug
Thank you for choosing
BRITA quality for cleaner, fresher tasting water.
The innovative BRITA MircroFlow Technology within MAXTRA+ ensures a much more powerful water filtration:
- The small Micro Carbon Pearls are made from carbon from natural coconut shells. Thanks to the BRITA MicroFlow Technology taste and odour impairing substances, such as chlorine, are effectively locked away in millions of pores within the Micro Carbon Pearls of the filter.
- Ion-Exchange Pearls ensure powerful limescale reduction for reliable protection of kettle or coffee machine.
- Effective reduction of metals such as lead and copper that may be present in your water from older plumbing. For cleaner, fresher tasting water in your hot and cold drinks and for cooking.
The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by this water
treatment system are not necessarily present in your water.
MAXTRA+ FlowControl: perfect filtration
MAXTRA+ FlowControl ensures the perfect filtration time for best results
through the combination of the MAXTRA+ water filter and the funnel of the
BRITA water filter jug.
BRITA PerfectFit: Designed to fit with BRITA MAXTRA+ water filters for optimal
filtration.
The perfect fit between filter and funnel guarantees that all water is
reliably filtered when using a MAXTRA+ water filter.
Lifetime of the MAXTRA+ water filter
MAXTRA+ water filter life depends on local water quality, such as water
hardness. The MAXTRA+ water filter filters up to 100 litres in an area with
hard water.
To ensure optimum performance you should change your MAXTRA+ water filter
every four weeks. To remind you of the next water filter change, your BRITA
water filter jug is equipped with a filter exchange indicator.

Quality from the very start
To ensure that you get the best results from your BRITA water filter jug,
please follow the instructions carefully.
1 Cleaning instructions for your new BRITA water filter jug before first
use and after every water filter exchange
Funnel and jug
Dishwasher safe (max. 50 °C).
For best cleaning results, turn the funnel upside down and let tap water flow
through the valve for a few seconds.
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.
Lid with BRITA Smart Light.A1
Before cleaning the lid in the dishwasher please remove the BRITA Smart Light
from the lid by turning it anti-clockwise. **A1**
The removed BRITA Smart Light must not be washed in the dishwasher. After
removal clean the BRITA Smart Light by hand using a soft and damp cloth. After
cleaning the lid simply insert the BRITA Smart Light back into the lid by
turning it clockwise as far as it will turn. **A2**
Lid with non removable BRITA MemoK
The lid must not be washed in the dishwasher. Clean the lid by hand.
Please use mild detergents but no abrasive cleaners. For descaling the lid and
the BRITA Smart Light use common household citric acid based descaling fluids.
2 Preparation of the MAXTRA+ water filterB
For quality you can trust: BRITA hot steam treatment for ultimate hygiene in
every MAXTRA+ water filter. Remove the protective wrapper from the MAXTRA+
water filter (Note: The MAXTRA+ water filter may be damp from steam treatment
process). Fill the clean jug with cold water. Immerse the MAXTRA+ water filter
in cold water and shake it gently to remove any air bubbles. Remove the
MAXTRA+ water filter and discard the used water.
3 Insert the MAXTRA+ water filterC
For optimal filtration results it is key that the MAXTRA+ water filter is
properly inserted. The new BRITA PerfectFit system gives you reassurance of a
proper filtration by allowing water to only flow when the BRITA MAXTRA+ water
filter is fully inserted and creating the right seal. Insert the funnel (4)
into the jug (5). Place the MAXTRA+ water filter into the hollow of the funnel
and push downwards until it is positioned firmly. If there is no water flow
through the funnel after filling the jug with water, the water filter is not
fully inserted.
Tip Please press the water filter a bit further down and try again. BRITA
water filter jugs are especially designed to fit with MAXTRA+ water filters.
BRITA can therefore only guarantee optimal filtration when using a BRITA
MAXTRA+ water filter.
4 Filling of the BRITA water filter jug
The filling method depends on the features in the lid of your BRITA water
filter model. The water in the funnel is automatically filtered and flows into
the jug.

cleaner, fresher tasting BRITA filtered water. In case that carbon particles
are released please rinse the funnel and insert the water filter again. For
detailed information about particles please see paragraph “Natural traces”
under “Important notes”.
6 Water filter exchange indicator adjustment
Your BRITA water filter exchange indicator will prompt you when you need to
change the MAXTRA+ water filter. The indicator is in the lid of your BRITA
water filter jug. BRITA recommends the exchange of your MAXTRA+ water filter
at least every four weeks to ensure optimum filtration performance.
Variants of the lid
BRITA water filter jug with BRITA Smart LightG
The BRITA Smart Light ensures that you can enjoy cleaner, fresher tasting
BRITA filtered water all the time. It monitors the filtration performance and
indicates intuitively when to change the cartridge for optimum filtration
performance. Using an intelligent sensor it not only measures the time since
the last water filter change but also takes the volume used into account. For
activation before first use and after every change of the MAXTRA+ water
filter, press the BRITA Smart Light LED reset button for approximately 5-10
sec **H** until the LED light is fading green in and out three times **I**
. Your water filter jug is now ready to use.
During every use of the water filter jug the BRITA Smart Light will prompt you
whether it is time to change the cartridge through different coloured flashing
lights.
Green light: MAXTRA+ water filter filters with optimum performance.
Yellow light: it is nearly time to replace your water filter soon, please
stock up.
Red light: please exchange your water filter. This will be the case after
either 4 weeks or 100L of filtered water usage assuming a typical pouring
flow.
You can monitor the status of your filtration performance any time. Simply
press on the BRITA Smart Light with your finger to see the actual filter
status. **H I**
BRITA water filter jug with Memo **J K**
The BRITA Memo reminds you to change your MAXTRA+ water filter every four
weeks. After activating the MAXTRA+ water filter, please remove protective
foil from Memo display and press the “START” button until all four bars appear
in the display and flash twice. A small flashing dot at the bottom right
corner of the display shows the BRITA Memo is working. Each bar refers to a
lifetime of approx. one week. The recommended MAXTRA+ water filter life of
four weeks equals four bars or 100%. After each week one bar will disappear to
show the remaining MAXTRA+ water filter life. Change the MAXTRA+ water filter
when all the bars have disappeared and the arrow starts to flash.
7 Exchange of the MAXTRA+ water filterL
Pull the MAXTRA+ water filter out. Follow the instructions for “Quality from
the very start” from step 1 to 6
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.
Natural traces
Like each natural product, the consistency of the BRITA Micro Carbon Pearls is
subject to natural variances. This can lead to a slight abrasion of small
carbon particles into your filtered water, noticeable as black bits. These
particles have no negative health effects. If ingested, they will not harm the
human body. In case you observe carbon particles, BRITA recommends to flush
the water filter several times or until the black bits disappear.
Correctly dispose of BRITA Smart Light and BRITA Memo
The BRITA Smart Light and BRITA Memo contain a battery and have a life of
approx. five years. At the end of their lives please remember that these
devices must be disposed according to all applicable provision and
regulations. To dispose of the exhausted BRITA Smart Light please remove it
from the lid by turning it anticlockwise A1 . To remove the exhausted BRITA
Memo place a screwdriver in the notch next to the BRITA Memo and push it out.
Please note that the BRITA Memo should not be removed for any other reason
than to dispose of it.
Exclusion of liability
Please understand that BRITA cannot accept any liability on their part if you
do not follow the given usage instructions.
Dispose of the jug in accordance with local regulations.
