BRITA recommends that you change the filter cartridge
after 500 litres of water has been filtered. Irrespective of
the filtered volume, the cartridge should be changed after
three months of use. The red light comes on if the water
quantity or time period has been exceeded.
When the red light in the top cap starts to blink during
filtering the cartridge should be changed. Proceed as fol-
lows (see Fig. 7):
Step 1:
The filter cartridge is attached to the base of the housing
(B). Screw the exhausted filter cartridge (I) to the left.
Unscrew it and pull it downwards and out of the housing.
The housing may still contain water, which will now leak
out. The exhausted filter cartridge can be disposed of with
normal domestic waste.
Attention: If you have any difficulties unscrewing the
cartridge, please do not use any tools. Use a towel to give
you a firmer grip as you unscrew the cartridge this will
prevent your hand from slipping.
Step 2:
Guide the new filter cartridge from below, into the housing
and screw it tight (clockwise). Hand tighten only.
Attention: When inserting the new cartridge, make sure
that the round, black O-ring seal (J) fits evenly inside the
filter cartridge cap (see Fig. 7).
Step 3:
The electronic cartridge change indicator in the top cap (H)
has to be reset every time you change the filter cartridge.
To do this, turn the top cap carefully to the right and pull
it upwards and off (see Fig. 8). Push down on the red
dot on the battery mount to release the battery (K). To
reactivate, push the battery back in correctly, then reinsert
the top cap and tighten it. The three lights will blink twice
consecutively. The display has now been reset.
8. Changing the battery
The battery should be changed after approximately a
year. One can tell when the battery is exhausted when
one sees the lights on the top cap do not blink during
the filtering process. When the light no longer blinks, the
battery needs to be changed. When this occurs, use the
filter cartridge as usual for the remaining part of the three
months and then insert a new battery.
To replace the battery, proceed as described in section 7.
“Changing the filter cartridge/Step 3”. Instead of reactivat-
ing the battery as described above, you now have to
replace the battery. Always use a type CR 2032 battery.
Please dispose of the old battery in accordance with the
applicable laws and regulations.
9. Removing the housing
The BRITA On Tap water filter system is supplied pre-
assembled. It is not necessary to unscrew the diverter
(A) and the housing (B) to operate the water filter (see
Fig. 2A). If you do wish to unscrew these parts (e.g. for
cleaning purposes), please do so properly without force,
following the instructions below. Please ensure that the
housing is always cleaned without the filter cartridge
inserted.
Step 1:
Detach the On Tap housing (see Fig. 9) by first rotating it
by a ¼ turn towards you until the top cap is facing you and
the BRITA logo is facing down. Secondly, pull it carefully to
the left and out. Discard any water left inside the unit.
Step 2:
To install the housing again (see Fig. 10), first guide the
housing carefully to the right and into the diverter. Make
sure that the top cap is facing you and the BRITA logo is
facing down. Secondly, rotate the housing a ¼ turn away
from you and upwards. To re-use the filter cartridge, allow
the water to run through for 1 to 2 minutes.
