Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
To ensure you get the best performance and longevity from your Brita Flow XXL Water Filter Tank, follow these simple guidelines:
Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the 100% recycled cardboard packaging.
- Clean the Tank: Wash the tank, lid, and tap thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse well. Important: Remove the digital BRITA Memo indicator from the lid before washing, as it is not dishwasher-safe.
- Prepare the Filter: Unpack the MAXTRA PRO Pure Performance filter cartridge. Submerge the filter in cold water for a few minutes and gently shake it to remove any air bubbles. This 'primes' the filter.
- Insert Filter: Place the prepared filter firmly into the funnel inside the tank. Ensure it clicks securely into place.
- Initial Fills (Flush): Fill the tank with tap water. Allow the water to filter through. Discard the first two filled tanks of filtered water. This flushes out any carbon dust from the new filter. The third fill is ready for consumption.
- Activate BRITA Memo: Press and hold the 'START' button on the digital indicator until all four bars appear, indicating it's active and counting down from 100%.
Compatibility
- Placement: The Brita Flow XXL is designed for versatile placement. It fits comfortably on most kitchen countertops and is sized to slide onto most refrigerator shelves for chilled water.
- Filter Compatibility: Exclusively uses Brita MAXTRA PRO Pure Performance filter cartridges. Do not attempt to use other filter types.
Care and Maintenance
- Regular Cleaning: Wash the tank, lid, and tap regularly with warm, soapy water. The tank (excluding the digital indicator) is dishwasher-safe. For hand washing, use a mild detergent and a soft sponge.
- Filter Replacement: Replace the MAXTRA PRO filter cartridge every 4 weeks or after 150 litres of filtered water, whichever comes first. The BRITA Memo indicator will help you track this.
- Digital Indicator Care: Handle the BRITA Memo indicator carefully. Keep it dry and away from water. If it stops working, check for battery replacement (if applicable) or contact support.
- Storage: If storing the tank for an extended period, empty it completely, clean all parts, and remove the filter cartridge. Allow all parts to dry thoroughly before reassembly or storage.
