3.4 Specifi c Safety Information
• Only water of drinking water quality may be used as intake water for the BRITA water fi lter
system. 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 appropriate disinfection.
• If there are offi cial instructions to boil tap water, BRITA fi ltered water must also be boiled. When
the requirement to boil water comes to an end, the fi lter cartridge must be replaced and the
connections cleaned.
• It is generally recommended to boil tap water for certain groups of people
(e.g. people with weakened immune systems, babies). This also applies to fi ltered water.
• 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 Alimentarius Austriacus code 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.

over 4 weeks, the fi lter should be fl ushed with at least x** litres (see table below) or else replaced.
