FILTER CARTRIDGE LIFE INDICATOR
The filter cartridge life indicator on the lid will remind you

FOR BEST RESULTS
• To prevent the filter from drying out, the water filter should
not be left unused for long periods. If such an extended
period is anticipated (such as a holiday), then it is best to
remove the filter and store in a sealed plastic bag. The
filter can then simply be prepared as per the original fitting
instructions.
• Store the filter jug in the refrigerator or in a cool location. It
is important to store the jug out of direct sunlight and away
from heat sources.
• In the event of the filtered water not being used for more
than 48 hours, we recommend that the water is discarded
and the filter jug re-filled with fresh water.
• We recommend the inner vessel and jug body are washed
and rinsed regularly. The lid should be wiped clean with a
damp cloth as required.
• Use only cold or room temperature water for filtering.
• Do not apply concentrated cleaning agents such as heavy
oxidants, bleach, or chlorinated solvents to any part of this
product. Do not use abrasive pads on the product.
• Do not use the filter jug for any purpose other than filtered
water.
