Replacing the filter cartridge
If the maximum volume is reached or the cartridge has been used
for 12 months from commissioning, the BRITA Cartidge Status
Indicator will flash red to remind you that the cartridge needs to be
replaced.
Read the Important Notes (chapter 8) prior to exchange. After
storage and transport below 0°C, the product must be stored in the
open original packaging for at least 24 hours at the stated ambient
temperatures (chapter 6) for operation.
The filter cartridge can be pivoted by 90° in the wall mount
for easy removal. When the locking handle is open, the
water supply to the cartridge is interrupted and by-passing
with direct water flow from the water inlet to the outlet is
possible.
Replacing the P 1000 (see fig. 8):
A Open the locking handle (3).
B Place a suitable container under the flush hose to catch the rinse
water. Open the flush valve (2) and release pressure from the
system. Close the flush valve (2) again
C Remove the exhausted filter cartridge (4) from the filter head (5)
– please be aware, the cartridge is firmly embedded so you can
give it a firm pull without worrying about breaking it.
D Insert the new filter cartridge (see chapter 3.5).
E Close the locking handle (3).
F Reset the BRITA Cartridge Status Indicator (chapter 3.2).
G Open the BRITA branded lever on your BRITA and rinse through
until the filtered water runs clear and without any bubbles (at
least 2 litres).
Replacing the P 3000 refill cartridge is exactly the same as
replacing the P 1000. The P 3000 lasts up to 3400 liters with the
