Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your BRITA Style Essential is straightforward. Start by soaking your new MAXTRA PRO cartridge in cold water for a few minutes to remove any air bubbles, then insert it into the funnel and press firmly until you hear a click. It is recommended to discard the first two fillings of filtered water to flush out any loose carbon particles.
For cleaning, the jug is designed to be easily disassembled. The body and lid can be washed with warm, soapy water; however, it is best to avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure the LED indicator is handled with care and kept dry when cleaning the lid. The filter cartridge should typically be replaced every four weeks for maximum performance, or when the smart LED indicator flashes red.
