with impaired immunity and for babies), it
is generally recommended that tap water
should be boiled; this also applies to
BRITAlteredwater.
– For hygiene reasons, the MAXTRA
cartridge contents are subject to special
treatment with silver. A very small
amount of silver may be transferred to
the water. This transference would be
within the World Health Organisation
(WHO) guidelines.

not harm the human body. In case you
observe carbon particles, BRITA recom-

Descaling
Your appliance has an automatic descaling
programme. When the
N
icon lights up,
run the descaling programme as soon as
possible. If the descaling programme is not
run as instructed, the appliance may be
damaged.
Tip: With very hard, calciferous water,
please descale the appliance more often
than the
N
symbol is displayed. Even

Turn the appliance off with the on/off
switch.
►
Press and hold the start/stop button.
►
Turn the appliance back on with the
on/off switch.
►
Release the start/stop button as soon
as the N symbol lights up.
Now proceed as described under “Running
