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 HotCup™water dispenser 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 HotCup™
water dispenser. 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 grip the 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 0344 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.

BEFORE USING YOUR HOTCUP™ WATER DISPENSER FOR THE FIRST
TIME
• Remove your HotCup™ water dispenser carefully from the box. Remove any
packaging and promotional material and position your HotCup™water dispenser 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 HOTCUP™ WATER DISPENSER
Always position your HotCup™water dispenser in such a way that the start
button cannot be accidentally operated, especially by children. As you use your
HotCup™ water dispenser, 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 HotCup™ water dispenser.
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 HotCup™water
dispenser will not immediately start a boil cycle when you place it onto the power
base.
4. Connect your HotCup™water dispenser 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 HotCup™water dispenser 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 HotCup™ water dispenser. 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 HotCup™ water dispenser.
6. Press the start button. The body will light up blue and your HotCup™water dispenser
will start to boil.
7. The selected quantity of boiling water will be dispensed into the cup. Your HotCup™
water dispenser 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 HOTCUP™ WATER DISPENSER
If you have started the boil procedure and then decide you want to stop your HotCup™
water dispenser 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.

DESCALING
To maintain its performance, your HotCup™water dispenser will require descaling once
every three months or so. You may need to descale your HotCup™water dispenser 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 HotCup™
water dispenser 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 HotCup™water dispenser 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 HotCup™ water dispenser is empty. Fill your
HotCup™ water dispenser 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 HotCup™ water dispenser is empty. This will rinse
any remaining descaling solution from your HotCup™ water dispenser.
11. When your HotCup™water dispenser is completely cleaned, reinsert the lter funnel
and lter. Your HotCup™water dispenser is ready for use again.

RECYCLING
The MAXTRA+® cartridge is 100% recyclable. Look out for BRITA® recycling points in
major retailers or visit www.brita.co.uk for more information.
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 times over.
Much of the UK’s electronic waste ends up in landll sites. It has been estimated that
landll space in the UK will run out within the next 10 years if we do not increase the
amount of waste we recycle.
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.

For advice on all aspects of recycling, to nd out how to minimise your effect on the
environment and locate your nearest recycling facilities for electronic waste please visit
