For maximum  lter performance and anti
scale protection, the BRITA MAXTRA  lter
cartridge (5d) should be replaced every
eight weeks.
The BRITA cartridge replacement indicator

indicate when the  lter cartridge (5d) should
be replaced with a new one.
To activate the BRITA  lter cartridge replace
ment indicator (3f), press and hold the Start
button until all four bars appear on the dis
play and blink twice.

indicates that the  lter cartridge replace
ment indicator (3f) is activated. All four bars
should be visible.
From this moment on, one bar disappears
every two weeks. When no bars are visible
after eight weeks and the arrow is blinking,
replace the  lter cartridge (5d).
To remove the  lter cartridge (5d), simply
pull it out by its tab.
To prepare a new  lter cartridge (5d),
