3.1 Step 1: Selecting the carbonate hardness
setting (++/+) on the filter head
The filter head has been set to meet most UK water conditions.
In some soft water areas though, you may wish to adjust the filter
head to your local settings. To do so, first carry out a carbonate test
using the supplied testing strip. The strip can be found in the outer
wrapping of these Usage Instructions.
Using the testing strip:
• L et the red response field of the probe soak in a glass of your
tap water for 1 second.
• A fter 1 minute, compare the colour of the response field with
the table and read the appropriate setting from the table.
Depending on the colour of the testing strip, we recommend
s etting your filter head as follows:
Setting +
Red, orange,
Colour
yellow
Capacity 1000 L
German Carbonate
up to 8.5
H ardness [°dH]
English Carbonate

The filter head is set to "++" by default. To change the setting,
use an Allen key (5 mm). Turn in the direction of the arrow until
the "+" appears in the window.
The filter head contains a flow regulator already installed which
guarantees smooth water flow from your dispenser even at higher
water pressures.
3.2 Step 2: Starting the BRITA electronic
cartridge exchange indicator
A Beginning:
The BRITA electronic cartridge exchange indicator comes with "++"
setting and is already installed in your BRITA water dispenser.
– To start, pull off the strip in the direction of the arrow.
– T he BRITA electronic cartridge exchange indicator's LED will
blink once red and once blue. If the BRITA water dispenser's
lever is turned to the open position, the LED will start blinking
blue continuously.
B Inserting the BRITA electronic cartridge exchange
indicator for the "+" setting
If you have changed your filter head to the "+" setting, please
consider that the electronic cartridge exchange indicator also has to
be changed.
a Take out the BRITA electronic cartridge exchange indicator (seen
as black rubber piece) from the bottom of the lever of the BRITA
water dispenser.
b Take the battery out carefully from the "++" indicator and put it
into the other cartridge exchange indicator in the separate bag,
marked with a "+" .
c The "+"-side of the battery has to be on top. As soon as the
battery has full contact a red and a blue light, on the back of the
BRITA electronic cartridge exchange indicator will blink once.
This shows that the BRITA electronic cartridge exchange indica-
tor has been set.
d Put the "+" BRITA electronic cartridge exchange indicator into
the faucet. The side with the battery has to face the BRITA logo
on the lever. Now the LED will blink blue when you turn the
BRITA water dispenser's lever to the open position
