Preparing the BRITA®MAXTRA®Cartridge
1. Remove the cartridge from its wrapping (it is normal for
the cartridge to appear moist during storage).
2. Immerse the cartridge in cold tap water and shake gently
to remove any air bubbles. There is no need to pre-soak
this cartridge before use.
3. Lift the complete lid off your Hot Cup and remove the
lter funnel. Insert the cartridge into the lter funnel
and push it rmly into place. When correctly tted, the
cartridge should remain in place when the funnel is turned
upside-down.
4. Fill the lter funnel with cold tap water up to the MAX
mark and allow it to lter through discarding the water.
Repeat this process, again discarding the water.
5. The BRITA® MAXTRA® cartridge is now ready for use.
You do not need to keep the lter cartridge immersed in
water. Ret the lter funnel and lter into your Hot Cup.
Replace the lid.
6. Always make sure that you have spare MAXTRA®
cartridges to hand. When buying new cartridges look for
the BRITA® MAXTRA®logo on the cartridge packaging.
7. When it is time to replace the BRITA® MAXTRA® lter
cartridge after 4 weeks use, simply lift the handle on top
of the cartridge and pull upwards to remove. BRITA®
cartridges are 100% recyclable. Visit www.brita.co.uk or
call the BRITA® Care team on 0844 742 4800 for further
information on participating retailers.
8. Repeat steps 1-5 with a new cartridge.

Using the BRITA®Memo Function
It is important to change your BRITA® lter cartridge regularly
to enjoy the benets of BRITA® ltered water. Filtering your
water improves the look and taste of hot drinks by reducing
limescale, chlorine, metals and other impurities.
The BRITA® Memo automatically reminds you when your
lter cartridge needs to be changed. BRITA®recommend to
exchange the MAXTRA® cartridge every 4 weeks.
When you have tted and prepared your lter cartridge, start
the Memo as follows:
1. Press and hold the START button until 4 bars appear on
the display and ash twice. The Memo is now set.
2. The ashing dot in the corner of the display indicates that
the Memo is working.
3. Every week, one bar will disappear to indicate the
remaining cartridge life. When only one bar is showing,
check that you have a replacement lter cartridge available.
4. After 4 weeks, all four bars will disappear and a ashing
arrow will appear to indicate that the cartridge should be
replaced.
Wash and dry the lter funnel, insert a new cartridge and
restart the Memo as described above.
Please note that the Memo is only intended to be used with
BRITA® lter cartridges.
More information on the use of BRITA® water lter cartridges
and the Memo can be found in the BRITA®information guide.

Using Your Hot Cup
BeforeusingyourHotCupforthersttime
• Remove your Hot Cup carefully from the box. Remove any packaging and
promotional material and position your Hot Cup on a dry, level, secure work surface
away from the edge.
• Follow the instructions below and discard the rst full tank of water. This will remove
any residues that may remain from the manufacturing process.
• Fit the lter funnel and the BRITA® MAXTRA® water lter and set the BRITA® Memo
—see pages 6 and 7.
Using your Hot Cup
Always position your Hot Cup in such a way that the start button cannot be
accidentally operated, especially by children. As you use your Hot Cup, a certain
portionofthewaterboiledwillbetransferredbacktothewaterreservoir.This
will mean the water reservoir may become hot. Always use care when handling
your Hot Cup.
1. Press the lid ap release button to open the lid ap.
2. Fill the lter funnel from your cold tap up to the MAX mark on the lter funnel. Allow
the water to lter through into the water chamber. Repeat until the water level in the
chamber is no higher than the MAX marking on the water chamber.
3. Close the lid and press the stop button. This will make sure that your hot cup will not
immediately start a boil cycle when you place it onto the power base.
4. Connect your Hot Cup to a mains supply socket.
5. Place a suitable cup or container with a tea bag, coffee, sugar, etc. below the
dispensing nozzle. Never operate your Hot Cup without a cup or suitable container
placed below the dispensing nozzle. Adjust the dispensing control to the required
setting. The control adjusts the quantity of boiling water dispensed by your Hot Cup.
For smaller cups like teacups, set the control towards the setting; for larger cups
like coffee mugs, set the control towards the setting. If you are not sure which
setting to use, it’s best to use a lower setting until you gain experience using your Hot
Cup.
6. Press the start button. The body will light up blue and your Hot Cup will start to boil.
7. The selected quantity of boiling water will be dispensed into the cup. Your Hot Cup
is now ready to use again. If, after just having boiled, the start button doesn’t operate,
simply wait a few seconds before trying it again.
Stopping your Hot Cup
If you have started the boil procedure and then decide you want to stop your Hot Cup for
any reason, simply press the stop button. You can also stop water that is being dispensed
by pressing the stop button. The boiled water will be safely transferred back into the
water reservoir.

before cleaning. Never immerse the base unit, power cord or plug in water or
any other liquid. Do not use harsh abrasives, chemicals or oven cleaners.

1. Fill your Hot Cup with a quantity of water that just covers the perforated stainless
steel element cover.
2. Place a suitable cup or container below the dispensing nozzle. Set the dispense
control to the setting.
3. Press the start button.
4. After the water has been dispensed, empty the cup and replace it under the
dispensing nozzle.
5. Press the start button again.

recommend that you rst empty it.
Before using your Hot Cup again, carry out several boil cycles discarding the water each
time.
Cleaning
Clean the exterior surface of your Hot Cup with a damp cloth and then polish it with a
soft, dry cloth. Do not use steel wool pads or harsh/abrasive cleaners.

Descaling your Hot Cup
To maintain it’s performance, your Hot Cup will require descaling once every three
months or so. You may need to descale your Hot Cup more frequently if you live in a
hard water area.
By changing the MAXTRA® cartridge more frequently, you will need to descale less
often. BRITA® recommends to exchange the MAXTRA® cartridge every 4 weeks.
1. Completely remove the lid and remove the lter funnel and lter. Fill your Hot Cup
to the MAX marking on the water chamber and place an empty cup on the drip
tray. Replace the lid. Select a suitable setting for the dispensing control and press the
start button. Wait for the water to be dispensed into the cup.
2. Add a citric acid-based proprietary descaling product to the hot water in the cup
and stir.
3. Tip the contents of the cup into your Hot Cup and close the lid.
4. Place the empty cup on the drip tray and press the start button.
5. Wait for the water to be dispensed into the cup.
6. Discard the water from the cup.
7. Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 until your Hot Cup is empty. Fill your Hot Cup with fresh
water to the MAX ll level and place an empty cup on the drip tray.
8. Press the start button and wait for the water to be dispensed into the cup.
9. Discard the water in the cup.
10. Repeat steps 8 and 9 until your Hot Cup is empty. This will rinse any remaining
descaling solution from your Hot Cup
11. When your Hot Cup is completely cleaned, reinsert the lter funnel and lter. Your
Hot Cup is ready for use again.

WasteElectricalandElectronicEquipment(WEEE)
WEEE is the fastest growing waste stream in the UK, growing by at least 5%
each year. The UK public alone dispose of over 1.2 million tonnes of electrical
andelectronicwasteeveryyear;thiswouldllthenewWembleyStadiumsix

WEEE that is not recycled can have negative impacts on soil, air and water
quality which can lead to environmental damage and which can also lead to
negative impacts on human and animal health.
Recycling household electrical equipment – regulations
WitheffectfromJuly2007,theUK’sWasteElectricalandElectronicEquipment
(WEEE)Regulationrequirethatallproducersofelectricalequipmentarenow
obliged to pay for recycling of household electrical goods, where previously this
bill was met by councils or items were not recycled at all. These regulations
also require that all retailers both actively assist in delivering a UK wide WEEE
collection infrastructure and encourage the participation of consumers in
recycling electronic equipment.
So that you can get your waste electrical goods recycled, we have contributed
towards a national fund to assist local councils to further develop their existing
waste electronics collection facilities, which will in turn allow producers of this
equipment to meet their obligations.
