Using your Water Filter & Chiller (continued)
Filtering time
Please note that on average it will take 5½ minutes to filter 1 litre of water through the Brita® Maxtra cartridge.
Using the Memo function
It is important to change your filter cartridge regularly to enjoy the benefits of filtered water.
The BRITA® Memo system automatically reminds you when your filter cartridge needs to be changed. It is automatically calibrated according to average use of one litre of water per day and will remind you to change your filter every 8 weeks. If you are a heavier user than one litre per day you will need to change your filter more often according to your usage rate. A filter will effectively filter 150 litres of water before needing replacement.
Once you have fitted and prepared your filter cartridge, start the Memo system as follows:
•Press and hold the Start button until 4 bars appear on the display and flash twice. The Memo is now set. The flashing dot in the corner of the display indicates that the Memo is working. (See figure 2).

•At the end of every two weeks, one bar will disappear to indicate the remaining cartridge life. When only one bar is showing, ensure that you have a replacement BRITA® Maxtra water filter cartridge available. (See figure 3).
