This product has been tested and certified by
the Water Quality Association according to NSF/
ANSI 42 for the reduction of Aesthetic Chlorine
and to NSF/ANSI 53 for the reduction of Copper,
as verified and substantiated by the test data,
and to CSA B483.1.
CAUTION: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality
without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
PREPARATION OF THE FILTER CARTRIDGE
1) First of all wash your hands.
2) Remove the cartridge from the bag (fig. A) and shake it for 10 seconds (fig. B).
3) Soak the cartridge in cold tap water for 15 minutes (fig. C). Shake it again to remove air bubbles.
4) Insert cartridge into the hole of the hopper. Press the cartridge firmly in (fig. D).
5) Fill the hopper with cold tap water to the top and let it filter through without closing the lid (fig. E).
6) Discard this water (or use for plants).
The first litres of filtered water could be of a dark colour due to the carbon particles dispersed in the
water. These particles have no negative health effects.
7) Repeat this operation (points 5 and 6) 3 times.
8) Remove the cartridge and put it on a clean surface (for example a dish). Wash all components. For the water
pitcher lid please refer to the paragraph “care of system”, 1) washing instructions for the carafe lid
Insert the hopper in the jug and the cartridge in the hopper.
ACTIVATION OF THE CARTRIDGE LIFE INDICATOR
1
Water filter with replaceable electronic litres-counter indicator
Take the lid. Keep the “O/I” key pressed for some seconds until the number “0” and a circle made of
4 sections stay fixed on the display (fig.1a).
The digits indicate the litres already filtered (up to a maximum of 150 litres); the circle made of 4
sections indicates the time still available for filtration (fig.1a).
Close the lid and filter 1 litre. The electronic display shows the number “1” and it is activated. The
electronic display shows the number of litres already filtred and the residual useful life of the cartridge (fig.1b
- fig. 1c - fig. 1d).
Once 150 litres have been filtered and/or after 60 days from the activation date, the numeric indicator returns
automatically to “0” and starts blinking: the filtering cartridge must be replaced (fig.1e).
Important: If you keep the “O/I” key pressed for some seconds, the display zeroes automatically the calculation
performed until that moment and reactivates the total filtering capacity.
The useful life of the replaceable electronic cartridge life indicator is about 2 years. After 2 years have elapsed,
the display of the electronic indicator will not display any symbol anymore. Ask your dealer for a spare electronic
indicator.

Water filter with rectangular replaceable electronic cartridge life indicator
Take the lid. Keep the “O/I” key pressed for some seconds until 4 black bars stay fixed on the display
(fig.2a).
Fit lid onto jug and filter 1 litre: the black bars will flash 3 times to show that the electronic counter has
been properly activated (4 black bars correspond to 8 weeks). The cartridge life indicator shows that
the total filtering capacity is now 75% (fig.2b). The cartridge life indicator shows that the total filtering
capacity is now 25% (fig.2c). When the cartridge needs to be replaced, the display will show “t” (fig.2d).
Important: The useful life of the replaceable electronic cartridge life indicator is about 2 years. After 2 years
have elapsed, the display of the electronic indicator will not display any symbol anymore. Ask your dealer for
a spare electronic indicator.
Replacement of the electronic cartridge life indicator: To replace it, remove the electronic indicator, by
means of a possible tool, lifting the lever positioned on the upper part of the same and extract it from
its housing .

Water filter with removable trapezoidal electronic cartridge life indicator
Remove the lid from the carafe and check that the magnet is on the underside of the lid (see Fig.
H). Remove the electronic indicator by turning the lid over on to the back of your hand with a smart
tap (see Fig. I).
Keep the “I/O” key pressed for some seconds until 4 black bars stay fixed on the display (fig.3a).
Fit the indicator into the lid: the black bars will flash 3 times to show that the electronic counter has been
properly activated (4 black bars correspond to 8 weeks).
The cartridge life indicator shows that the total filtering capacity is now 75% (fig.3b). The cartridge life indicator
shows that the total filtering capacity is now 25% (fig. 3c). When the cartridge needs to be replaced, the
display will show “t” (fig.3d).
Important: The useful life of the trapezoidal electronic cartridge life indicator is about 2 years. After 2 years
have elapsed, the display of the electronic indicator will not display any symbol anymore. Ask your dealer for
a spare lid.

Water filter with non-removable trapezoidal electronic cartridge life indicator
Take the lid. Keep the “I/O” key pressed for some seconds until 4 black bars stay fixed on the display
(fig4a).
Fit lid onto jug: the black bars will flash 3 times to show that the electronic counter has been properly
activated (4 black bars correspond to 8 weeks).
The cartridge life indicator shows that the total filtering capacity is now 75% (fig.4b). The cartridge life indicator
shows that the total filtering capacity is now 25% (fig. 4c). When the cartridge needs to be replaced, the
display will show “t” (fig.4d).
Important notice: The useful life of the trapezoidal electronic cartridge life indicator is about 2 years. After
2 years have elapsed, the display of the electronic indicator will not display any symbol anymore. Ask your
dealer for a spare lid.
CAUTION: in the electronic counters, at the end of the cartridge life, the display blinks until it reaches the sleeping
mode, in order to avoid battery consumption. When replacing the cartridge, re-activate the display as indicated
in the paragraph “ACTIVATION OF THE CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT INDICATOR”.
FILLING OF THE WATER FILTER
Water filter with automatic pour through lid
Place the water filter system directly under the tap so that the water jet enters directly into the hopper through
the opening on the lid.
Turn on the tap (the pressure of the water jet should not be too strong, in order to avoid splashes): water opens
the device automatically.
Fill the hopper to the top with cold tap water (fig.F1).
The automatic pour through lid closes gradually, as the hopper fills: turn off the tap when the device closes (fig.
F2). It is recommended to check, from one side of the jug, the water level present in the hopper.
Water filter without automatic pour through lid
Fill in the hopper with the first water litre to the top (fig.F3) and close the lid. Once the water is completely
filtered, it is possible to use it or to fill the hopper again.
Your jug is now ready for use.
To ensure optimum performance
it is recommended not to filter
more than 5 litres a day (do not
filter 1 litre sooner than 45-60
minutes from previous one).
The filtering cartridge has
to be replaced every 150
litres / 60 filtration days
(maximum product efficiency
and safety is assured when
this instruction is observed).
REPLACEMENT OF THE FILTER CARTRIDGE
To replace the filter cartridge remove it from the hopper (fig.G). Refer to section above “PREPARATION OF THE
FILTER CARTRIDGE”
