3.4 Specifi c Safety Information
• Only water of drinking water quality may be used as intake water for the BRITA water fi lter sys-
tem. The BRITA water fi lter system is only suitable for cold water use within the water intake
temperature stated in Chapter 12. No microbiologically impaired water or water of unknown
quality may be used without prior appropriate disinfection.
• If there are offi cial instructions to boil tap water, the fi lter system must be decommissioned.
When the requirement to boil water comes to an end, the fi lter cartridge must be replaced and
the connections cleaned.
• For hygiene reasons, the fi lter material of the cartridge is subjected to a special treatment with
silver. A small quantity of silver, which is harmless to health, may be released into the water.
This is in compliance with the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommendations for drinking
water. At most, the values stated in the Codes Alimentarius Austriacus may be exceeded.
• Note for people with kidney disease or dialysis patients: During the fi lter process the potassium
content may be increased slightly. If you suffer from kidney disease and/or have to stick to a
special potassium diet, we recommend prior agreement with your doctor.
• The water fi ltrate is classifi ed in Category 2 according to DIN EN 1717.
• BRITA recommends that the fi lter system not be decommissioned for a long period. If the
BRITA PURITY Steam fi lter system is not used for several days (two to three days), we recom-
mend that the fi lter system be fl ushed with at least X litres according to the table below. After
stagnation periods of over four weeks, the fi lter should be fl ushed with at least Y litres or else
replaced. Please also note that the maximum usage period of the fi lter cartridge is twelve
months (Chapter 6).
