Instructions for use

This is an international product, hence certain offers/pro-

visions mentioned on pack or in the user manual may be

applicable to selected countries only.

BRITA water lter jugs are designed for use

only with properly treated water, which is

safe to drink according to the BIS (Bureau of Indian

Standards) drinking water quality standards, and

any other statutory required standards at the time

I. Thank you for choosing BRITA

quality for cleaner*, fresher tasting

water.

The innovative BRITA MicroFlow

Technology within MAXTRA+ ensures

a much more powerful water ltration:

• 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 lter.

• 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 domestic plumbing.

For cleaner*, fresher tasting water in your hot and cold drinks

and for cooking.

*clean as dened by the reduction of metals and taste and odour

impairing substances

MAXTRA+ FlowControl: perfect ltration

MAXTRA+ FlowControl ensures the perfect ltration time for

best results through the combination of the MAXTRA+ water

lter and the funnel of the BRITA water lter jug.

BRITA PerfectFit: Designed to t with BRITA MAXTRA+ water

lters for optimal ltration.

The perfect t between lter and funnel guarantees that all

water is reliably ltered when using a MAXTRA+ water lter.

Lifetime of the MAXTRA+ water lter

MAXTRA+ water lter life depends on local water quality, such

as water hardness.

The MAXTRA+ water lter lters up to 150 liters.*

To ensure optimum performance you should change your

MAXTRA+ water lter every four weeks. To remind you of the

next water lter change, your BRITA water lter jug is equipped

with a lter exchange indicator.

* Limescale is certied to be reduced for 120 l according to DIN 10521.

Over 50 years of experience is a guarantee

of quality

For over 50 years, BRITA has

1 Cleaning instructions for your new

BRITA water lter jug before rst use

and after every water lter exchange

Funnel and jug

Dishwasher safe (max. 50 °C).

For best cleaning results, turn the funnel upside down and

let water ow through the valve for a few seconds.

If your BRITA water lter jug has been in contact with food

that is likely to cause discolouration (e.g. tomato ketchup,

mustard) clean your BRITA water lter jug. To avoid possible

discolouration of your BRITA water lter jug, do not include

it in a dishwasher containing dirty crockery from such foods.

Lid with non removable BRITA Memo

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 use common household citric acid

based descaling uids.

Tip

2 Preparation of the MAXTRA+ water lter

For quality you can trust: BRITA hot steam treatment for

hygiene in every MAXTRA+ water lter. Remove the protective

wrapper from the MAXTRA+ water lter (Note: The MAXTRA+

water lter may be damp from steam treatment process). Fill

the clean jug with cold and safe to drink water. Immerse the

MAXTRA+ water lter in the cold water and shake it gently to

remove any air bubbles. Remove the MAXTRA+ water lter

and discard the used water.

3 Insert the MAXTRA+ water lter

For optimal ltration results it is key that the MAXTRA+ water

lter is properly inserted.

The new BRITA PerfectFit system gives you reassurance of a

proper ltration by allowing water to only ow when the BRITA

MAXTRA+ water lter is fully inserted and creating the right

seal. Insert the funnel (4) into the jug (5). Place the MAXTRA+

water lter into the hollow of the funnel and push downwards

until it is positioned rmly. If there is no water ow through the

funnel after lling the jug with water, the water lter is not fully

inserted. Please press the water lter a bit further down and try

again. BRITA water lter jugs are especially designed to t with

MAXTRA+ water lters. BRITA can therefore only guarantee

optimal ltration when using a BRITA MAXTRA+ water lter.

4 Filling of the BRITA water lter jug

BRITA water lter jug with ip top lid

Open the lid and ll the jug with cold and safe to drink water.

The water in the funnel is automatically ltered and ows into

the jug. Close the lid carefully again.

5 Activate the MAXTRA+ water lter

The MAXTRA+ water lter must be activated with the rst two

llings. Discard the rst two llings or use the water for your

plants. With the third lling the MAXTRA+ water lter jug is

ready for use – you will enjoy cleaner*, fresher tasting BRITA

ltered water. In case that carbon particles are released please

rinse the funnel and insert the water lter again. For detailed

information about particles please see paragraph “Natural

traces” under “Important notes”.

impairing substances

6 Water lter exchange indicator

adjustment

Your BRITA water lter exchange indicator will prompt you

when you need to change the MAXTRA+ water lter. The

indicator is in the lid of your BRITA water lter jug. BRITA

recommends the exchange of your MAXTRA+ water lter

at least every four weeks to ensure optimum ltration

performance.

BRITA water lter jug with Memo

The BRITA Memo reminds you to change your MAXTRA+ water

lter every four weeks. After activating the MAXTRA+ water

lter, please remove protective foil from Memo display and press

the “START” button until all four bars appear in the display and

ash twice. A small ashing 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 lter life of four weeks equals four bars or 100%. After each

week one bar will disappear to show the remaining MAXTRA+

water lter life. Change the MAXTRA+ water lter when all

the bars have disappeared and the arrow starts to ash.

7 Exchange of the MAXTRA+ water lter

Pull the MAXTRA+ water lter out. Follow the instructions for

“Quality from the very start” from step 1 to 6.

III. Important notes

Do not expose your BRITA water lter jug to direct sunlight.

Keep your BRITA water lter jug away from heating elements,

e.g. oven, coffee machine. Store your BRITA water lter jug in

a shady, cool place.

BRITA ltered 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 lter ready

for exchange. BRITA recommends to store your MAXTRA+

water lter in their original wrapping in a cool and dry place.

Over the lifetime of the BRITA water lter jug you may notice

limescale build-up on the lid. This is due to the fact that it can

come in contact with water containing carbonate hardness

(e.g. limescale) or other minerals. Should your BRITA water

lter jug not be in use for a prolonged period (e.g. holiday),

BRITA recommends that you take out the MAXTRA+ water

lter, discard any water left inside, or use it for your plants,

and loosely insert the MAXTRA+ water lter again.

Before using the BRITA water lter jug again take out the

MAXTRA+ water lter, clean the water lter and repeat steps

3 to 5 of the „Quality from the very start”. Please pay special

attention to your BRITA water lter exchange indicator.

Optimum performance

Please lter cold water (max. 30 °C) only.

Do not lter water which is not adequate

for human consumption before ltering.

BRITA water lter jugs are designed for use only with

properly treated water, which is safe to drink according

to the BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) drinking water quality

standards, and any other statutory required standards at the

time in force, and free from microbiological impurities, such as

bacteria, viruses and cysts.

In the event: lter rst, and then boil

If an instruction is received from the authorities that mains

water must be boiled, then BRITA ltered water must also be

boiled. When the instruction to boil water is no longer in force,

the entire BRITA water lter jug must be thoroughly cleaned

and a new MAXTRA+ water lter inserted.

For certain groups of people (e.g. those with impaired

immunity and for babies), it is generally recommended that

drinking water should be boiled; this also applies to BRITA

ltered 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.

Hygiene

For hygiene reasons, the MAXTRA+ water lter 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 ltering process, there may be a slight increase

in potassium content. However, one litre of BRITA ltered

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 lter 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

ltered 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 ush the water lter several times with water

which is safe to drink.

Correctly dispose of BRITA Memo

The BRITA Memo contains a battery

and have a life of approx. ve years.

At the end of their lives please

remember that these devices must be

disposed according to all applicable

provision and regulations. 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 and the used water lter in accordance

with local regulations.
