BRITA water fi lter with BRITA Meter
Always enjoy cleaner, clearer great tasting
BRITA fi ltered water thanks to the intelligent
BRITA Meter – exclusively developed for
MAXTRA. BRITA Meter monitors the fi ltration
performance and indicates the remaining
cartridge life. The 3-way measurement takes
into consideration the volume of water fi ltered,
water quality (hardness) and time.
After activating the MAXTRA cartridge press
the "START" button for approx. six seconds
until all four bars appear in the display and
"O.K." fl ashes.
As long as your display shows "O.K." the
MAXTRA cartridge fi lters with optimum
performance.
The percentage in each bar of your display indi-
cates the remaining capacity of your MAXTRA
cartridge.
Water drops that recurrently fl ash from top
to bottom indicate an actively processing
fi ltration.
If the empty cartridge symbol "NEW" fl ashes,
you should now exchange the MAXTRA
cartridge.
