11.5 Operating and Safety Instructions
Read, understand, and follow all safety information contained in these instructions.
General
Warning
!
• To reduce the risk associated with the ingestion of contaminants:
• In the case of an official order, for instance from local authorities, to boil tap water,
BRITA-filtered water must be boiled as well. When the requirement to boil water comes to
an end, all filter cartridges must be replaced and the PROGUARD Coffee system including
all connections and hoses be cleaned thoroughly.
• 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 filtered water.
• Installation and maintenance of PROGUARD Coffee, its refill components and its spare
part MUST be carried out by specialist staff with an understanding of local and regional
regulations/codes that may affect the installation requirements.
Caution
!
• The appliance is intended to be permanently connected to the mains water supply.
• The disposable PURITY C filter cartridges MUST be replaced every 12 months or at the
rated capacity, whatever comes first.
• The flawless function of the non-electric pump (built-in) is critical for the desired water quality. Unless
the water tank is already fully filled with filtrate (no more required), a regular and audible click sound
indicates its proper functioning.
• Regularly clean the outside of the RO system with a soft, damp cloth. Caution: Do not use any
abrasive chemicals, cleaning solutions or astringent cleaning agents.

Caution
!
Note for people with kidney disease or dialysis patients: During the filter process the potassium
levels may increase slightly. If you suffer from kidney disease and/or have to stick to a special
potassium diet, we recommend you to consult your doctor beforehand.
