Please note that you will need the right drilling equipment
for your particular work surface or base. Make sure the
!
area under the dispenser is stable, especially if your work
surface is not made from wood. Please check the drilling
requirements for the material, use the appropriate drill and/
or consult a specialist.
Drill a hole (with a 12-mm bit) into the work surface where you
wish to set up the BRITA water dispenser.
Next, install the BRITA water dispenser (see fig. 5).
Then put the base (2) over the hole and fix the BRITA water
d ispenser (1) in place using the supplied counter plate (4), the
gasket (3), the locking ring (5) and the hexagon nut (6).

Step 4: Attaching the hoses
We recommend that you first arrange all parts you need
in front of you. Before installation, please ensure that you
!
have a 3/8" or 1/2" cold water supply so that you can connect
the On Line Active Plus Water Filter Kit in addition to your
existing kitchen tap. Recommended tools for installation: an
adjustable wrench and a allen key.
For wall mounting (optional), you need: two screws (e.g. 5 mm
thread diameter) and, if required, two wall plugs suitable for your
type of wall.
Please follow the diagram on the next page (see fig. 6) and perform
the steps in the right order.
A a) Turn off the cold water supply
b) Please make sure your existing kitchen tap is pressureless by
opening the lever
!
No water should run through the existing kitchen tap!
c) Install supplied T-piece
If you do have an additional free 3/8" cold water supply for
the BRITA On Line Active Plus kit in your kitchen, you do not
need to install the supplied t-piece!
d) Remove your existing 3/8" female kitchen tap hose from your
3/8" male cold water supply.
e) Connect t-piece with cold water supply.
a. I nsert one 3/8" gasket into the female nut of the supplied
t-piece.
b. Connect this end of the t-piece to your cold water supply.
f) Connect t-piece with kitchen tap
a. O nly for kitchen tap with flexible hoses:
Connect your kitchen tap hose to one of the two 3/8" male
t-piece connections. Please, ensure proper sealing with the
already existing gasket from your existing kitchen tap hose.
This gasket is already integrated in the hose or a separate
part depending on your kind of kitchen tap hose.
b. O nly for kitchen tap with squeeze connections (for kitchen
taps with tubes)
Connect your kitchen tap tube to one of the two 3/8" male
t-piece connections. Please, use the existing squeeze con-
nection nut with sealing components (as used before) and
the tube for the connection of your 3/8" kitchen tap to the
3/8 male t-piece connection.
B a) Put the hose (1) in place
b) Insert the medium-sized (3/8") gaskets into the respective
female threads of the two hose ends.
c) Now connect one end of the hose (1) to the filter head inlet.
This is labelled "IN" (inlet) and marked with an arrow. Make
sure the gasket is seated correctly!
d) Now connect the other end of the hose (1) to your free cold
water supply/installed t-piece and ensure that the gasket is
correctly positioned!
If your cold water supply does not fit the 3/8" connector on
the hose (1), use the supplied adapter if required. Your On
Line Active Plus Kit comes with a 1/2" adapter. Please go to
your nearest supplier for adapters in other sizes.
C a) Put the hose (2) in place.
b) Connect the small end, with the gasket that has already been
inserted into the hose (2), to the BRITA water dispenser
already installed (see Step 3.3).
