• For certain groups of people (e.g. those with impaired immunity and for babies) it is generally 

recommended that tap water should be boiled; this also applies to BRITA filtered water. Irrespective 
of the water used you should use utensils with stainless steel or water filter kettles with concealed 
elements. This product meets these requirements. In particular, people who are sensitive to nickel 
should use appliances made of stainless steel or water filter kettles with concealed elements.

• 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.

• During the filtering process, there may be a slight increase in potassium content. However, one litre 

of BRITA filtered water contains less potassium than e.g. an apple. If you have kidney disease and/ or 
follow a potassium-restricted diet, we recommend that you consult your doctor before using a BRITA 
water filter. Or contact the BRITA Customer Service via www.brita.net for further information.

• Should your water filter kettle not be in use for a prolonged period (e.g. holiday), BRITA recommends 

that you take out the cartridge, discard any water left inside the BRITA water filter and loosely insert 
the MAXTRA cartridge again. Before using the water filter kettle again take out the cartridge, clean 
the water filter kettle and funnel thoroughly and repeat the steps described in chapter “REPLACING 
THE MAXTRA FILTER CARTRIDGE”.

• BRITA filtered water is dedicated for human consumption. It is a perishable food and as such please 

consume within one day.

• Like each natural product, the consistency of the BRITA MicroporeFilter is subject to natural variances. 

This can lead to a slight abrasion of small carbon particles into your filtered water, noticeable as black 
bits. These particles have no negative health effects. If ingested, they will not harm the human body. 
In case you observe carbon particles, BRITA recommends to flush the cartridge several times or until 
the black bits disappear.

• BRITA cannot accept responsibility or liability if you do not respect our recommendations for the use 

and exchange of the BRITA filter cartridge.

IN THE EVENT OF PROBLEMS

THERE IS NO EVIDENT DAMAGE TO YOUR KETTLE

• The kettle does not work or stops before coming to the boil

– Check that your kettle is properly connected.

– The kettle has been switched on without water or an accumulation of scale has caused the overheat 

cut-out to operate: allow the kettle to cool and fill it with water. Descale first if scale has accumulated.

Switch it on: the kettle should start working again after about 15 minutes.
• The water tastes of plastic:
Generally, this happens when the kettle is new, discard the water from the first few boilings. If the 
problem persists, fill the kettle to maximum and add two teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda. Bring to 
the boil and discard the water. Rinse out the kettle.
