3.4 Specifi c Safety Information
• Only water of drinking water quality may be used as intake water for the BRITA water fi lter sys-

temperature stated in Chapter 11. No microbiologically impaired water or water of unknown
quality may be used without appropriate disinfection.
• If there are offi cial instructions to boil tap water, BRITA fi ltered water must also be boiled.
When the requirement to boil water comes to an end, the fi lter cartridge must be replaced and
the connections cleaned.
• It is generally recommended to boil tap water for certain groups of people (e.g. people with
weakened immune systems, babies). This also applies to fi ltered water.
• For hygiene reasons, the fi lter material of the cartridge is subjected to a special treatment with
silver. A small quantity of silver, which is harmless to health, may be released into the water.
This is in compliance with the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommendations for drinking
water. At most, the values stated in the Alimentarius Austriacus code may be exceeded.
• Note for people with kidney disease or dialysis patients: during the fi lter process, the potassium
content may be increased slightly. If you suffer from kidney disease and/or have to stick to a
special potassium diet, we recommend prior agreement with your doctor.
• The water fi ltrate is classifi ed in Category 2 according to DIN EN 1717.

periods of over 4 weeks, the fi lter should be fl ushed with at least x** litres (see table below)
or else replaced. Please also note that the maximum usage period of the fi lter cartridge is
