Installation

Step 1:
Remove the existing aerator (C) from the tap. The tap will
either have an external thread (see Fig. 1A) or an internal
thread (see Fig. 1B).
Step 2 with external thread (see Fig. 1A–2A):
Screw the diverter (A) onto the tap. No adapter is necessary.
Step 2 with internal thread (see Fig. 1B–2B):
To attach the diverter (A) to an internal thread you will
need to use the fl at gasket (D) and adapter (E) which you
will fi nd in the packaging. First insert the fl at gasket into
the internal thread on the tap. Now screw the adapter to
the tap, and then screw the diverter (A) tightly onto the
adapter.
Attention: Hand tighten only. Do not use any tools when
attaching the diverter to the tap.
Step 3:
To remove the top cap (H) carefully turn the cap to the
right (see Fig. 3). Insert the supplied battery to the battery
mount. Reinsert the top cap and tighten it. The three lights
in the top cap will blink twice consecutively. The electronic
cartridge change indicator is now ready to go.

Initial operation

Step 1:
The BRITA On Tap water fi lter system has separate outlets
for unfi ltered and fi ltered water.
Unfi ltered water:
If you move the lever (F) to the right (at 3:00 o'clock posi-
tion), unfi ltered water will come out of the regular outlet
(see Fig. 4).
Filtered water:
To get fi ltered water, move the lever (F) to the left (1/4 turn

towards you until it faces you directly). Filtered water will
come directly out of the fi lter outlet (see Fig. 5).
The symbols on the diverter are designed to assist you in
selecting the required position: The dark drop represents
unfi ltered water, the light drop represents BRITA fi ltered
water. To prevent damage to the diverter, choose the
required position before turning on the tap.
Step 2:
If the BRITA On Tap water fi lter is new, the fi lter cartridge
may still contain materials residue. This is harmless to
health and does not infl uence the performance of your
water fi lter. Run water through the fi lter for 1 to 2 minutes
to remove any residue.
Please repeat this process with every new fi lter cartridge.
The water may briefl y become darker in colour until fi ne
particles are eliminated. You may use this water for your
plants or discard it.
If the BRITA On Tap water fi lter system has not been
used for more than 24 hours, allow water to pass for 30 to
60 seconds before using the fi ltered water.
7. Changing the fi lter cartridge
To ensure optimal performance, one should change the
fi lter cartridge on a regular basis. The electronic cartridge
change indicator (G) in the top cap (H) tells one when to
change the fi lter cartridge (see Fig. 6).
The three lights in the top cap of the On Tap housing are
only activated in the fi ltering position. They indicate the
following:
• Green light: The BRITA On Tap water fi lter is working.
• Yellow light: 90% of the fi lter capacity has been used.
Remember to buy a new replacement fi lter cartridge.
• Red light: The fi lter cartridge needs to be changed.
