to deliver filtered water quickly – reducing chlorine,
limescale, organics, herbicides, pesticides, lead and other
heavy metals.

cartridge. There may be a small residue
of black carbon particles in the bag
or adhering to the cartridge body;
this is normal. These particles are
harmless and are washed off during the
preparation process.

5-10 minutes to remove all air bubbles (A).

CARE & MAINTENANCE
• Water is a foodstuff. We recommend using the filtered
C
water within 3 days. If the appliance is not used for more
than 72 hours the water system will need draining. Unplug
the appliance and take it to the sink. Unscrew both the
drainage caps located on the underside of the appliance
and remove the silicon bungs over a sink. Allow all water to
drain out of the system. Re-insert the drainage bungs and
screw on the caps. Repeat the process in section 3. first
use, to refill the appliance to continue use.
• Should the appliance not be used for an extended period
of time (for example a holiday) we recommend that the
filter is removed and placed in a clean plastic bag and
stored in the fridge. This will help to maintain the filter when
not in use. Before using the filter after storage, follow the
preparation and fitting instructions for use as normal.
• Do not overfill the water tank, do not fill above the "MAX" fill
to avoid risk of water overflow in the inner water tank.
