BEFOREUSINGYOURWATERFILTER/CHILLER
Before using your water filter/chiller for
the first time, it is recommended that the
unit is flushed through with fresh water.
Pleaseensurethatyoureadthefollowing
instructions before flushing your water
filter/chiller several times.
5. Position the water filter/chiller on a
stable flat surface, close to a mains
power socket, not in direct sunlight
and out of the reach of children.
6. Make sure that there is sufficient
space around the water filter/chiller
to allow the heat extracted during
the chilling process to dissipate.
Leave a gap of at least 15 cm
between the ventilation slots on the
rear of the chiller and any wall or
surface.
1. Remove your water filter/chiller
carefully from the box. You may wish
to store the packaging for future use.

to appear moist during storage - this
is simply condensation).
2. Immerse the cartridge in cold water
and agitate gently to remove any air
bubbles.
Maximum fill level mark
✎NOTE
There is no need to pre-soak this
cartridge before use.
Discard the first two fillings. These
first two fillings are used to flush the
filter cartridge. Place the upper tank
back into the unit.
3. Remove the lid from the upper water
tank.
4. Insert the filter cartridge into the water
tank as shown below. Push it firmly
into place. When correctly fitted, the
cartridge should remain in place
when the tank is turned upside down.
2. Replace the upper water tank lid.
3. Press and hold the START button on
the BRITA Memo on the lid until all of
the bars on the display appear and
flash twice, see “Using the Memo
function” on page 8.
✎NOTE
When it is time to replace the cartridge
after 4 weeks use, simply lift the ring
pull handle on top of the cartridge to
remove. The cartridge may be
disposed of in household waste or
contact the BRITA-Care customer
service for advice on recycling
schemes.

the front of the unit. The switch will
illuminate and the machine will begin
to chill the water.
suitable jug, carefully pour water into
the tank up to the MAX FILL LEVEL.
This may take some time due to the
action of the filter.
5. Dispense 2 litres of water from the
unit to remove any unfiltered water
from the unit that was used to prepare
the chiller as instructed on page 4.
6. Within approximately 3 hours the blue
indicator on the front of the unit will
light indicating that the water has
chilled to approximately 10OC,
although this may take longer in very
hot weather. The indicator will cycle
on and off as the unit maintains its
temperature, but the unit will continue
to chill the water down to 8OC then
stop. If the water temperature rises
above 8OC the unit will start to chill
again.
2. Keep adding water until all the tanks
are full. Water flows through the
cartridge at a set rate. This is to
achieve the best possible filtration.
Because of this it may take some time
to fill all the tanks on first use. During
normal use top up the tanks regularly.
We recommend that the water chiller
bekeptoutofdirectsunlightandaway
from any heat source.
7. Place a glass under the dispenser
and push the lever back to dispense
water.
✎NOTE
After filling, it is important to vent any
air in the unit otherwise the chiller will
not function correctly. Do this by
pressing the dispensing lever until
the water flows from the dispenser
without any air bubbles present. Once
the water is clear of any air bubbles,
the dispensing lever may be released.
Top up the water tank if necessary.
✎NOTE
It is normal for the indicator to go off
when water is drawn. Water inside
the unit will remain chilled but the
indicator will not come on again until
the optimum temperature has been
reached.
3. Close the hinged lid.
8. Top up the water tank as necessary.

USINGYOURWATERFILTER/CHILLER
For optimum enjoyment, we recommend
✎NOTE
that if your water chiller has not been
used for 1 day or more, you first draw half
a glass of water and dispose of it. It is
possible to use the unit without power
but the water will not be chilled.
Remember that water is a foodstuff.
Please consume filtered water within 2
days.
There is a risk of leakage from the
split joint between the top tank and
filtered water tank. This may occur if
the unit is moved or disturbed when
both tanks are at maximum capacity.
Toavoidleakage, drawoffwaterusing
the lever to empty the top tank so that
it does not overflow when moved.
To empty filtered water from the system,
use the plug in the base of the chiller as
instructed in the storage section on page
10.
Troubleshooting
Water is not dispensed:
When replacing the bottom 2 litre filtered
water tank, please ensure that there is
no water in the inner well (illustrated
below).
•
Make sure that there is water in the
tank.
•
Air trapped in the filter cartridge may
stop water flowing into the filtered
water tank. The cartridge must be
immersed in cold water and agitated
to removed any air bubbles before
installation.
Inner well
•
•
Filter is blocked. Replace.
Air can become trapped in the
internal tank. Press the dispensing
lever until clear water dispenses
without any air bubbles. This may
take some time.
Chiller light tuning off and on:
If there is water present, dispense the
water using the lever until the well is
empty.
•
The chiller light will not stay on
permanently. It will cycle on and off
as the temperature of the water is
maintained.
Should water spill from the tank it is not
dangerous. Do not grasp or pull on the
tank sections to move or reposition the
unit.

RECYCLING INFORMATION
The Maxtra cartridge in the chiller is 100% recyclable. Look out for BRITA recycling
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
WEEE is the fastest growing waste stream in the UK, growing by at least 5% each
year. The UK public alone dispose of over 1.2 million tonnes of electrical and
electronic waste every year; this would fill the new Wembley Stadium 6 times over.
Much of the UK’s electronic waste ends up in landfill sites. It has been estimated
that landfill space in the UK will run out within the next 10 years if we do not increase
the amount of waste we recycle.
WEEE that is not recycled can have negative impacts on soil, air and water quality
which can lead to environmental damage and which can also lead to negative
impacts on human and animal health.
Recycling household electrical equipment – regulations
With effect from July 2007, the UK’s Waste electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE) Regulation require that all producers of electrical equipment are now
obliged to pay for recycling of household electrical goods, where previously this bill
was met by councils or items were not recycled at all. These regulations also require
that all retailers both actively assist in delivering a UK wide WEEE collection
infrastructure and encourage the participation of consumers in recycling electronic
equipment.
So that you can get your waste electrical goods recycled, we have contributed
towards a national fund to assist local councils to further develop their existing waste
electronics collection facilities, which will in turn allow producers of this equipment
to meet their obligations.
15
RECYCLING INFORMATION
The Crossed out Wheeled Bin Symbol
All new electrical and electronic equipment should be marked with the crossed out
wheeled bin, which aims to encourage you to separate out WEEE from other
household waste and to dispose of it at a recycling facility.
