Protect the On Line Active water fi lter kit from direct sunlight
and mechanical damage. Do not assemble near sources of heat
and open fl ames. A stop valve must be installed before the fi lter
system intake hose. If the water pressure is greater than 8.6 bar, a
pressure reducer must be installed in front of the fi lter system. The
On Line Active water fi lter kit is only suitable for domestic use.
Only water of drinking water quality may be used as intake water
for the BRITA water fi lter system. The BRITA water fi lter system is
only suitable for cold water use within the supply water tem-
perature stated in chapter 7. No microbiologically impaired water
or water of unknown quality may be used without appropriate
disinfection.
If you have a low pressure boiler, make sure you only connect the
On Line A 1000 to the cold water supply with the angle valve, and
not to the low pressure boiler.
In the event: fi lter fi rst, and then boil
If there are offi cial instructions to boil tap water, the fi lter system
must be decommissioned. When the requirement to boil water
comes to an end, the fi lter cartridge must be replaced and the
connections cleaned. Irrespective of the water used, you should
use stainless steel utensils or kettles with stainless steel heating
elements. This is of particular importance to people who are sensi-
tive to nickel.
Ultimate hygiene
• 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.
• It is generally recommended to boil tap water for certain groups
of people (e.g. people with weak immune systems, babies). This
also applies to fi ltered water.

Optimum use
Natural traces
• BRITA recommends that the fi lter system not be decommis-
sioned for a long period. If the BRITA On Line Active fi lter sys-
tem is not used for several days (2–3 days), we recommend that
the fi lter system be fl ushed with the fl ushing volume X indicated
in the table below. After stagnation periods of over 4 weeks, the
fi lter should be fl ushed with fl ushing volume Y or else replaced.
Please also note the maximum usage period of the fi lter car-
tridge is 6 months.

• The fi lter system must not be opened or dismantled during
operation. The fi lter cartridge must not be opened. The fi lter sys-
tem fi lter head is designed for a service life of 5 years counted
from the date of installation. BRITA fi ltered water is designed for
human consumption. Use it within 1–2 days.
As with every natural product, the On Line A 1000 parts can be
subject to natural fl uctuations. This can lead to a slight abrasion of
small carbon particles into your fi ltered water, noticeable as black
bits. These particles have no negative health effects. If ingested,
they will not harm the human body. If you should see any carbon
particles in your fi ltered water, BRITA recommends fl ushing out
the On Line A 1000 fi lter cartridge until the particle deposits are
washed out.
