6. Handling Instructions
6.1 Initial operation and lter cartridge change
Prior to the rst use or when changing the exhausted lter cartridge: Clean jug,
funnel and lid of the BWT water ltering system with mild soapy water and
rinse thoroughly with warm water. Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents or
scrubbing sponges, as scratch marks could be left on the BWT water ltering
system. Jug and funnel can be washed in the dishwasher. The lid may not be
washed in the dishwasher.
In order to achieve best possible ltration performance, we recommend you to
put the new lter cartridge in tap water for 5 minutes. After that please discard
the water.
Subsequently insert the new lter cartridge into the funnel of the water ltering
system by pressing it in lightly into place.
If the BWT water ltering system is equipped with the automatic lling system
„Easy-Fill“ in the lid, it is not necessary to take off the lid when lling the jug.
The „Easy-Fill“ system opens automatically, when the water jet meets the ope-
ning and closes automatically after lling.
Initium 2.5 l: Please open the ip top lid for lling. BWT recommends you to
close the lid after lling.
Discard the rst ltered water lling and rell the BWT water ltering system.
Fine black particles of activated carbon could be ushed out, which are,
how ever, completely harmless. In this case we recommend to rell the jug and
discard the water again until it is clear and free from particles.
The BWT water ltering system is now ready for use.
