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

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 until

the LED light is fading green in and out three times. 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.
