8. Changing the battery / 9. Removing the housing
BRITA recommends that you change the fi lter cartridge
after 1200 litres of water has been fi ltered. Irrespective of
the fi ltered 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
fi ltering the cartridge should be changed. Proceed as fol-
lows (see Fig. 7):
Step 1:
The fi lter cartridge is attached to the base of the housing
(B). Screw the exhausted fi lter 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 fi lter cartridge can be disposed of with
normal domestic waste.
Attention: If you have any diffi culties unscrewing the
cartridge, please do not use any tools. Use a towel to give
you a fi rmer grip as you unscrew the cartridge this will
prevent your hand from slipping.
Step 2:
Guide the new fi lter 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) fi ts evenly inside the
fi lter 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 fi lter cartridge.
To do this, turn the top cap carefully to the right and pull it
upwards and off (see Fig. 8). To reactivate, push the button
(K), then reinsert the top cap and tighten it. The three
lights will blink twice consecutively. The display has now
been reset.

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 fi ltering process. When the light no longer blink, the
battery needs to be changed. When this occurs, use the
fi lter 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 5.
"Installation/Step 3. " Instead of inserting the supplied bat-
tery as described above, you now have to replace the bat-
tery. Always use a type CR 2032 battery. Please dispose
of the old battery in accordance with the applicable laws
and regulations.

Removing the housing
The BRITA On Tap water fi lter system is supplied pre-
assembled. It is not necessary to unscrew the diverter
(A) and the housing (B) to operate the water fi lter (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 fi lter cartridge
inserted.
Step 1:
Detach the On Tap housing (see Fig. 9) by fi rst 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), fi rst 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 fi lter cartridge, allow
the water to run through for 1 to 2 minutes.
