How to use the refrigerator
For adequate cooling developing
interior air circulation is necessary.
For this reason you are asked not to
cover the air circulation gaps behind the
shelves (e.g. with tray etc.).
Do not put hot food into the
refrigerator. Allow it to reach
room temperature naturally. In this
way the unnnecessary frost building
up can be avoided.
Foods can take over odours
from each other. So it is
essential to put foods in closed
dishes or wrap them in cellophane,
aluminium foil, grease-proof paper or
cling film before placing them into the
refrigerator. This way foods will keep
their moisture e.g. vegetables will not
dry out after some days.

How to use the BRITA MAXTRA filter
cartridge
STEP 1: PREPARING THE
CARTRIDGE
To prepare your BRITA filter cartridge,
please remove protective wrapper (note:
cartridge and inside wrapper may appear
moist, this is simply condensation).
Immerse cartridge in cold water and
shake it gently to remove any air bubbles.
The filter now is ready to use. As required
for some other water filter cartridges,
there is no need to pre-soak the new
Maxtra Cartridge.
STEP 2: INSERT IN THE WATER
TANK
Remove the tank lid. Before inserting the

thoroughly by rising it and wiping it dry.
Then thoroughly clean the inside of the
water tank with a dump cloth and wipe it
dry as well. Place the cartridge into the
filter tank and push downwards until it
'clicks' firmly into place. The cartridge
should stay in place if the funnel is turned
upside down.
STEP 3: RINSE CARTRIDGE
Take the funnel out of the BRITA water
filter unit, fill it under the tap with cold tap
water and allow it to filter through.
Discard the first two fillings into the sink.
These first two fillings are used to flush
the filter cartridge.
Then place the funnel back into BRITA

Place the cover back onto the jag and
press it carefully downwards to ensure it
fits correctly into place.
STEP 4: REFILL WATER TANK

open the flip top lid, take a jug of tap
water and pour it inside the tank through
the cover as shown into the picture (use
the lid every time that you want to filter
your water).

In order to avoid risk of spillage of water
during closing and opening of the
refrigerator door, we recommend to not
fill completely the water tank but leave a
head space of air.

authorities that mains water must be
boiled, the BRITA filtered water also
be boiled. When the instruction to boil
water is no longer in force, the entire
filter system must be cleaned and a
new cartridge inserted.

out of use, before putting the products in
the compartment let the appliance run at
least 12 hours. To obtain the best
performance from this appliance, you

not correspond to the setting
temperature. During this time it is
possible that the temperature displayed
is different than the setting temperature.

characteristics chart under "rising

cooling).
Excessive temperature alarm
An increase in the temperature in the
freezer compartment (for example due to
an power failure) is indicated by:
- flashing temperature;
- freezer compartment flashing ;
- flashing of the icon ;
- sounding of buzzer.
When normal conditions are restored:
- the acoustic signal shuts off;
- the temperature value continues to
flash;
When you press key "E" to de-activate the
alarm, the highest temperature reached
in the compartment appears on indicator
for some seconds. Then it returns on
the normal operation showing the
temperature of the selected
compartment.
During the alarm phase, the buzzer can
be switched off by pressing key E.
