For models WD 3030 and WD 3040 only
These models have an aerator with two integrated outlets. The
Inner one is for BRITA filtered water, the outer area for hot and cold
water. As with every tap aerator, there can be lime scale build up
in the outer area. Therefore it is recommended to clean the aerator
on a regular basis. For cleaning: Unscrew the cap on the end of the
dispensers neck. The aerator is connected to a silicon hose. Detach
it carefully and clean the aerator (e.g. with vinegar). After cleaning
connect the long, thin part on the back of the aerator carefully with
the silicon hose. Place the cap over the aerator and screw it tight.
Make sure that the gasket in the cap is seated correctly. When
installed correctly there should not be any leaks whilst running hot,
cold or BRITA filtered water.
If you want to replace the aerator with a new one, you can order
it from BRITA. You can find the contact details for your BRITA
customer service team next to your country code on the back of
this booklet.

is only suitable for cold water use within the supply water tem-
perature stated in chapter 7 . No microbiologically impaired water
or water of unknown quality may be used without appropriate
disinfection.
The system cannot be installed with a low pressure boiler.
Irrespective of the water used, you should use stainless steel
utensils or kettles with stainless steel heating elements. This is of
particular importance to people who are sensitive to nickel.
In the event: filter first, and then boil
If there are official instructions to boil tap water, the filter system
must be decommissioned. When the requirement to boil water
comes to an end, the filter cartridge must be replaced and the con-
nections cleaned.
Ultimate hygiene
• F or hygiene reasons, the filter material of the cartridge 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) recommendations for drinking water.
• I t is generally recommended to boil tap water for certain groups
of people (e.g. people with weak immune systems, babies). This
also applies to filtered water.
• N ote for people with kidney disease or dialysis patients: The fil-
tering process can cause a small rise in the levels of potassium.
• T he water filtrate is classified in Category 2 according to
EN 1717 .
Optimum use
• B RITA recommends that the filter system is not left unused
for a long period. If the BRITA 3-Way Water Filter Dispenser is
not used for several days (2–3 days), we recommend that the
filter system be flushed with the flushing volume X indicated in
the table below. After stagnation periods of over 4 weeks, the
filter should be flushed with flushing volume Y or else replaced.
Please also note the maximum usage period of the filter car-
tridge is 6 months.
