Thank you very much for buying your new
water ltering system by BWT!
You have made a good choice, as your new water ltering system is a quality
product produced by BWT, the Europe-wide leading water technology specia-
list from Austria.
Conventional water lters reduce carbonate hardness for prevention of lime
scale deposits, remove concentrations of heavy metals, e.g. lead and copper,
(if contained in the water) and eliminate taste-distorting elements, e.g. chlorine,
from the tap water. An ion exchanger takes on the main function by absorbing
nearly all of the previously mentioned substances, except chlorine, primarily
in exchange with hydrogen ions. The result, with conventional lters, is a sour
taste due to the low pH-value of the water, which is in particular noticed at the
beginning of the utilisation phase.
BWT takes an entirely different approach and thanks to the innovative Mg2+-
technology offers a signicant advantage. In addition to the above mentioned
functions of a water lter, BWT by exchanging the total hardness, uses magne-
sium ions so that the water tastes less sour.
The overall effect: The essential mineral magnesium serves as a avour carrier
providing improved taste and more intense aroma for tea, coffee and drinking
water. A real benet for all who like to indulge their taste buds!
The new BWT water ltering system at the same time combines indulgence with
a healthy way of life and therefore totally complies with the spirit of the time.
We hope you enjoy using our BWT water ltering system!

1. Product type and description
In the BWT water ltering system the drinking water is
treated in 4 ltration stages:
Stage 1: Particle ltration
Stage 2: Reduction of lime scale and heavy metal
concentrations, exchange of calcium
through magnesium ions
Stage 3: Reduction of undesirable odours and
taste-distorting substances (chlorine) and
certain organic impurities
Stage 4: Fine ltration
2. Function of the BWT gourmet lter cartridge Mg2+
Clear water - clear results
The water lter is ideal for preparing hot and cold drinks as well
as for cooking. The lime scale content of the water is reduced. Par-
ticles contained in the water are ltered out using ne lters. Tea,
coffee as well as ice cubes are clear without any cloudiness.
Better water
Concentrations of heavy metals for example lead and copper
are reduced.
Savings
Scale deposits in coffee machines, espresso machines, pots and
water kettles are reduced, extending their service life. When you
use BWT for drinking water you not only save good money, but
also the cumbersome task of carrying heavy water bottles, when
you use BWT as potable water.
Tasty water
Undesirable odours and taste-distorting substances, e.g. chlorine,
are eliminated from the water. Tea, coffee and drinking water pre-
pared with ltered water, using the the Mg2+-technology, reach their
full aroma and taste better. Sensoric tests carried out by independent
institutes conrm this.

3. Intended use
The BWT water ltering system may only be operated with cold water
fullling the legal requirements made on drinking water quality.
The water lter is unsuitable for the production of drinking water; i.e. the
lter may not be used for treatment of contaminated water.
The BWT ltered water is intended for short-term use. It may not be exposed
to direct radiation of the sun, is to be stored in a cool place and not longer
than 24 hours. If the ltered water is kept longer than 24 hours in the water
ltering system, white marks may occur in the jug through the evaporation
of water, which can easily be removed through cleaning.
After ltering more than 3 litres continuously, a 15 minute pause should be
made.
Permanent water contact to the lter cartridge is not particularly necessary in
order to guarantee long-term operation of the lter cartridge. The lter cart-
ridge continues to function, even if it is taken out of the water for some time.
If ‚Ofcially‘ you are requested to boil the tap water due to contamination
with germs, this still applies to BWT ltered water. When the authorities
classify the tap water again as harmless and release it for consumption, the
lter cartridge must be changed. The water ltering system is to be cleaned
(see chapter 6.1 and 8).
For certain groups of people, e.g. people with limited immune defence and
for the preparation of baby food, the BWT ltered water is to be boiled.
For hygienic reasons the lter cartridge contains small quantities of silver, in
order to suppress the growth of germs. A small quantity of silver may be given
off to the water. It is harmless and in compliance with the corresponding re-
commendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) for potable water.
The lter cartridge should be replaced at least 4 weeks after its rst use.
Appliance for the treatment of drinking water:
Attention: in order to guarantee the requisite of drinkability of the treated
water and to maintain the improvements as declared by the manufacturer,
this appliance requires a regular and periodic maintenance.

4. Efciency of the lter cartridge
The service life of the lter cartridge varies according to the location where it
is used, as the quality of the water is not the same everywhere. The capacity of
the lter cartridge depends on the hardness of the water. The harder the water,
the earlier the lter cartridge will be exhausted.
Filter capacities
Gourmet Edition Mg2+ 120 l at TW* = 12 – 14.2 °d **
Gourmet Edition Mg2+ 100 l at TW* = 12 – 14.2 °d **
*TW = total water hardness
**German water hardness
The substances mentioned e.g. lead and copper, which are reduced by the
lter, are not always contained in tap water.
The lter cartridge fulls the microbiological requirements made on water lters
according to DIN 10521. The requirements according to DIN 10521 made on
chlorine, lead and copper retention are fullled.
BWT products are manufactured
according to the strictest quality
requirements. The production follows
the HACCP standards. The food
quality is monitored by independent
institutes.
BWT gives you a manufacturer‘s
warranty of two years on the water
ltering system you have bought.

6. Handling Instructions
6.1 Initial operation and lter cartridge change
Prior to the rst use or when changing the exhausted lter cartridge: Clean jug,
funnel and lid of the BWT water ltering system with mild soapy water and
rinse thoroughly with warm water. Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents or
scrubbing sponges, as scratch marks could be left on the BWT water ltering
system. Jug and funnel can be washed in the dishwasher. The lid may not be
washed in the dishwasher.
In order to achieve best possible ltration performance, we recommend you to
put the new lter cartridge in tap water for 5 minutes. After that please discard
the water.
Subsequently insert the new lter cartridge into the funnel of the water ltering
system by pressing it in lightly into place.
If the BWT water ltering system is equipped with the automatic lling system
„Easy-Fill“ in the lid, it is not necessary to take off the lid when lling the jug.
The „Easy-Fill“ system opens automatically, when the water jet meets the ope-
ning and closes automatically after lling.
Initium 2.5 l: Please open the ip top lid for lling. BWT recommends you to
close the lid after lling.
Discard the rst ltered water lling and rell the BWT water ltering system.
Fine black particles of activated carbon could be ushed out, which are,
how ever, completely harmless. In this case we recommend to rell the jug and
discard the water again until it is clear and free from particles.
The BWT water ltering system is now ready for use.

Nous vous remercions pour l’achat de votre nouvelle
carafe ltrante BWT !
Vous avez fait le choix judicieux d‘acquérir une carafe ltrante de qualité, pro-
duit par la société BWT, spécialiste et leader européen du traitement de l‘eau.
Les ltres à eau traditionnels réduisent la dureté carbonatée an d’empêcher
tout dépôt de calcaire et extraient de l’eau du robinet les métaux lourds, com-
me le plomb et le cuivre (s’ils sont présents dans l’eau), ainsi que les substances
qui dénaturent le goût, comme le chlore. La fonction principale est assurée par
un échangeur d’ions qui absorbe presque toutes les substances précitées, à
l’exception du chlore, et les remplace par des ions d’hydrogène. L’eau obtenue
a un goût acide provoqué par la faible valeur du pH, particulièrement percepti-
ble au début de l’utilisation.
Grâce à son approche totalement différente et à sa technologie Mg2+ innovan-
te, BWT offre un avantage signicatif. Outre les fonctions traditionnelles d‘une
carafe ltrante, le système de BWT utilise des ions magnésium au lieu d‘ions
hydrogène an de réduire la dureté totale et d‘obtenir une saveur d‘eau moins
acide. L’eau a ainsi un goût nettement moins acide et est enrichie en minéraux
Magnésium.
L’effet est positif : le précieux magnésium sert d’agent de sapidité et garantit un
goût plus agréable et un meilleur arôme de vos thés, cafés et eaux de table.
Un véritable plus pour tous les gourmets ! La nouvelle carafe ltrante de BWT
combine plaisir et mode de vie sain, elle est en parfaite adéquation avec la
philosophie actuelle.
Nous espérons sincèrement que vous prendrez plaisir à
utiliser votre carafe BWT!

2. Fonctionnement de la cartouche ltrante BWT Gourmet Mg2+
Une eau limpide – des résultats évidents
La carafe ltrante est idéale pour la préparation de boissons chau-
des et froides, ainsi que pour la cuisson. La teneur en calcaire de
l’eau est réduite. Les particules présentes dans l’eau sont éliminées
par le biais de la ltration ne. Le thé, le café et les glaçons ont
alors un aspect limpide.
Une eau plus saine
Réduction de la concentration en métaux lourds tels que le
plomb et le cuivre.
Économies
Les machines à café et à expresso, les casseroles et les bouilloires
s’entartrent moins et ont donc une plus longue durée de vie. De plus,
en utilisant la carafe de BWT pour votre eau potable, vous économi-
sez non seulement de l’argent, mais vous évitez également de devoir
transporter de lourdes bouteilles d’eau entre le magasin et votre foyer.
Une eau savoureuse
Les substances malodorantes et dénaturant le goût de l’eau, telles
que le chlore, sont éliminées. Le thé, le café et l’eau potable, con-
coctés avec l’eau ltrée par la carafe de BWT, sont plein d’arômes
et ont un meilleur goût grâce à la technologie Mg2+. Les tests de
dégustation réalisés par des instituts indépendants le prouvent.
