Safety Information - Brita AquaGusto 100 Instructions D'utilisation

2.2. Safety Information

• Only water of drinking water quality may be used as intake water for the BRITA
water filter system. No microbiologically impaired water or water of unknown quality
may be used without appropriate disinfection.
• If there are official instructions to boil tap water, BRITA filtered water must also be
boiled. When the requirement to boil water comes to an end, the entire appliance
must be cleaned and the water tank filter changed.
• 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 water treated with
BRITA AquaGusto water tank filter.
• For hygiene reasons, the pad filter material 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) recommen-
dations for drinking water.
• Note for people with kidney disease or dialysis patients: during the filter 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 terminal device operated with the filter must be free of limescale prior to
installation.
• When choosing the material for parts that come into contact with water after the
BRITA filter system, it is important to remember that, due to the process, decarbonised
water contains free carbon dioxide. For this reason, only materials that are compatible
with free carbon dioxide must be used.
