Optimum Performance; Ultimate Hygiene; Sensitive To Potassium?; Natural Traces - Brita Maxtra+ Instructions For Use Manual

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 When the instruction to boil water is no longer in force, the entire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 . To remove the exhausted BRITA Memo place a
A1
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.
