Instructions and guarantee
Attention: For added safety, it is advisable to remove the batteries in the
presence of children under the age of 12.
CAUTION: in the electronic counters, at the end of the cartridge life, the display
flashes until switching off in order to avoid battery consumption. When replacing the
filter cartridge, reactivate the display as shown in the section "ACTIVATION OF THE
CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT INDICATOR".
USING THE WATER FILTER
• Water filter with automatic fill device
Place the jug under the tap so that the water jet directly enters the hopper through
the opening in the lid. Turn on the tap (the pressure of the water jet should not be
too strong in order to avoid splashes): the water automatically opens the automatic
filling device and directly enters the hopper. (fig.E1). Fill the hopper to the top with
cold tap water. When the hopper is almost full the automatic filling device gradually
closes: reduce the water flow and shut off the tap when the device closes (fig.E2).
It is in any case recommended to check the water level in the hopper from one side
of the jug.
• Water filter without automatic filling device.
Fill the hopper with the first litre of water (fig.E3) and close the lid. Wait for the
water to be filtered; when the operation is completed, it is possible to use the filtered
water or to refill the hopper; in this case you will have 2 litres of water available.
Your jug is now ready for use.
To ensure optimum performance it is recommended not to filter more than 5 litres a
day (taking care to wait some minutes between the filtrations). The filtering cartridge
should be replaced every 150 litres/30 filtration days (maximum product efficiency and
safety is assured when this instruction is observed).
FILTER CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT
For replacement of the cartridge remove it from the hopper pulling it upwards as shown
in fig.F and repeat the operations as indicated in the sections "PREPARATION OF THE
FILTER CARTRIDGE" and "ACTIVATION OF THE CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT INDICATOR".
