Changing the filter cartridge
For information on where to purchase On Tap
replacement filters, please visit www.brita.net or contact
your local BRITA customer service team. (Replacement
element name: BRITA Water Filter HF On Tap).
When to replace the filter cartridge
To ensure optimal performance, please change the filter
cartridge on a regular basis. The display on the top of
the BRITA On Tap counts from 600L down to 0L. When
it has reached 0L it is time to change the cartridge.
Changing the filter cartridge:
• Open the housing
by rotating the cap anticlockwise.
• Remove the old filter cartridge.
The housing may still contain water, which will now leak
out. The old filter cartridge can be discarded with
normal domestic waste.
• Insert the new filter cartridge
into the housing and close the system by rotating the
cap clockwise until it locks.
• Reset the display
every time the filter cartridge is changed. Just press the
small button found on the left side next to the battery
slot. The numbers on the display will light up briefly to
indicate that the display has been reset.
Changing the CR 2032 battery
The battery should be changed after approximately
one year. The battery indicator lights up when the
battery needs to be replaced. The remaining filter
capacity on the digital display is not reset when
changing the battery.
To replace the battery, open the battery cap on the left
side of the BRITA On Tap. To do so, insert a coin or any
similar object into the slot on the outside of the cap and
turn anticlockwise, as the arrow for opening indicates.
The battery can be found inside the cap. Pull it out and
dispose of it in accordance with the applicable laws and
regulations. Put a new battery in the cap, with the
positive terminal of the battery facing downwards.
Always use a type CR 2032 battery. Close the cap by
turning clockwise as the arrows for closing indicate.
