IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• Always store spare filter cartridges sealed in the original packaging in a shady, cool dry place.
• BRITA water filters are designed for use only with municipally treated tap water (note: This water is
constantly controlled and according to legal regulations safe to drink) or with water from private
supplies that has been tested as safe to drink. If an instruction is received from the authorities that
mains water must be boiled, the BRITA filtered water must also be boiled. When the instruction to
boil water is no longer in force, the coffee machine, water tank and funnel must be cleaned and a new
cartridge inserted.
• Please filter cold tap water only.
• Clean the water tank and funnel regularly.
• For certain groups of people (e.g. those with impaired immunity and for babies), it is generally
recommended that tap water should be boiled; this also applies to BRITA filtered water. Irrespective
of the water used, you should use utensils with stainless steel. This product of our BRITA partner
meets these requirements. In particular, people who are sensitive to nickel should use appliances
with elements made of stainless steel.
• For hygiene reasons, the MAXTRA cartridge contents are subject to special treatment with silver. A
very small amount of silver may be transferred to the water. This transference would be within the
World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines.
• During the filtering process, there may be a slight increase in potassium content. However, one litre of
BRITA filtered water contains less potassium than e.g. an apple. If you have kidney disease and/or
follow a potassium-restricted diet, we recommend that you consult your doctor before using a BRITA
water filter. Or call BRITACare Customer Service for further information. Contact details can be found
at www.brita.net.
• Should your coffee machine not be in use for a prolonged period (e.g. holiday), BRITA recommends
that you take out the cartridge, discard any water left inside the BRITA water filter and loosely insert
the MAXTRA cartridge again.
• BRITA filtered water is dedicated for human consumption. It is a perishable food and as such please
consume within one day.
• Like each natural product, the consistency of the BRITA MicroporeFilter is subject to natural variances.
This can lead to a slight abrasion of small carbon particles into your filtered water, noticeable as black
bits. These particles have no negative health effects. If ingested, they will not harm the human body.
In case you observe carbon particles, BRITA recommends to flush the cartridge several times or until
the black bits disappear.
• BRITA cannot accept responsibility or liability if you do not respect our recommendations for the use
and exchange of the BRITA filter cartridge.
