PREPARATION/ CONDITIONING THE FILTER CARTRIDGE BEFORE USE
Before using the filter cartridge for the first time, it is important to “condition” the filter cartridge. If the filter cartridge is not conditioned properly then water may not pass into the water carafé.
Remove the filter cartridge from its wrapper.
Place the filter cartridge on its side, in a clean container. Fully cover the filter cartridge with cold water. Keep the filter cartridge fully submerged for 5 minutes.
Before removing the filter cartridge from the water, shake the filter cartridge vigorously from end to end, to ensure all the air bubbles have escaped.
Now that you have conditioned the filter cartridge, place it inside the filter cartridge holder of the inner vessel by holding the conditioned filter cartridge by the narrow end and inserting into the filter cartridge holder. Push down gently to establish a seal.
Placing the inner vessel inside the carafé, fill the inner vessel with water. Allow it to filter through into the filter carafé. Once filtered empty this out. Repeat this process two or three times to ensure all the residual carbon dust has been removed.The water will then appear clear in the filter carafé.
Note: Average filter time for 1 litre of water is approximately
FITTING THE WATER FILTER CARTRIDGE INTO THE CARAFÉ
Before using the carafé for the first time, wash and rinse the carafé, inner vessel and lid thoroughly.
Fit the inner vessel into the filter carafé.
Hold the conditioned filter by the narrow end and insert into the filter holder. Push down gently to establish the seal.
Note:The filter cartridge does not lock into place.
USING THE CARAFÉ
Fill the inner vessel with tap water and allow the water to filter into the carafé, Once the water has filtered through, the top inner vessel can be refilled again with water.This will then gradually filter through as water is used from the water carafé.
Note: If water is inside the inner vessel, when you pour ensure that you hold the lid on firmly whilst pouring to prevent unfiltered water from pouring into your glass.

CLEANING THE CARAFÉ
We recommend that you wash the entire unit every time you change the filter.
Wash the unit thoroughly, if using dishwashing detergents ensure that you rinse the unit well - so the detergent is not able to be tasted.
Do not place any part in the dishwasher.
Do not use any abrasive cleaners or harsh cleaners.
