waste disposal service.
Attention: For added safety, it is advisable to remove the batteries in the
presence of children under the age of 12.
CAUTION: in the electronic counters, at the end of the cartridge life, the display
flashes until switching off in order to avoid battery consumption. When replacing
the filter cartridge, reactivate the display as shown in the section “ACTIVATION OF
THE CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT INDICATOR”.
USING THE WATER FILTER
• Water filter with automatic fill device
Place the jug under the tap so that the water jet directly enters the hopper through
the opening in the lid. Turn on the tap (the pressure of the water jet should not
be too strong in order to avoid splashes): the water automatically opens the
automatic filling device and directly enters the hopper. (fig.E1 ).
Fill the hopper to the top with cold tap water.
When the hopper is almost full the automatic filling device gradually closes:
reduce the water flow and shut off the tap when the device closes (fig.E2 ).
It is in any case recommended to check the water level in the hopper from one
side of the jug.
• Water filter without automatic filling device.
Fill the hopper with the first litre of water (fig.E3 ) and close the lid. Wait for the
water to be filtered; when the operation is completed, it is possible to use the
filtered water or to refill the hopper; in this case you will have 2 litres of water
available.
Your jug is now ready for use.
To ensure optimum performance it is recommended not to filter more than 5 litres a
day (taking care to wait some minutes between the filtrations). The filtering cartridge
should be replaced every 150 litres/30 filtration days (maximum product efficiency
and safety is assured when this instruction is observed).
FILTER CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT
For replacement of the cartridge remove it from the hopper pulling it upwards as
shown in fig.F and repeat the operations as indicated in the sections “PREPARATION
OF THE FILTER CARTRIDGE” and “ACTIVATION OF THE CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT
INDICATOR”.

PROBLEMS
The water flow slows down until stopping
1) The filtering cartridge has not been properly activated Repeat the procedure
described in the section “PREPARATION OF THE FILTERING CARTRIDGE”.
2) Air bubbles may build up inside the filtering cartridge thus hindering the normal
water flow. Remove the filter, immerse it in water letting the air bubbles escape,
allow it to drip and then insert it again into the hopper.
Presence of dark residues inside the jug
1) The vegetable carbon contained in the filter may release a certain amount of
fine powder (which is in no way noxious) Repeat the procedure described in the
section “ACTIVATION OF THE FILTERING CARTRIDGE” remembering to insert the
cartridge into the anti-sediment system.
The electronic indicator does not switch on
1) The electronic indicator has not been properly activated. Repeat the procedure
described in the section “ACTIVATION OF THE CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT
INDICATOR”.
2) The battery is flat. Change the battery. In case of doubt concerning the activation
time of the last filtering cartridge, replace it with a new one.
