ENGLISH

Before daily use
To prevent quick clogging of the lter cartridge, let the water run at
the unltered setting for around 5 seconds before every use.
If the water is highly coloured or turbid due to work on your water
network, do not let the water run at the ltered setting until the
water is clear.
Let the water run at the ltered setting for 10 seconds before use
each day.
Let the water run at the ltered setting for 60 seconds before use if
you have not used the water purier for more than two days.
If you have not used the water purier for more than two weeks, let
the water run at the ltered setting for 2-3 minutes before use. If the
lter cartridge emits an unpleasant smell, replace it with a new one.
Water temperature
Do not let water hotter than 50°C run through the water purier,
because this may damage the appliance.
Do not let the water purier freeze.
Applications
Only use the appliance to lter water that meets drinking water
standards at the point of use.
Do not block the ltered water outlet or connect other devices to it.
If the water pressure is very high, reduce the water ow of the tap to
prevent damage to the cartridge.
Keep the water purier away from heat to avoid distortion or
breakage.
Do not tamper with the water purier.
Do not remove the lter cartridge while you use the water purier.
Do not use the water purier without a lter cartridge.
Do not place the appliance near a window where it is exposed to
direct sunlight.
This appliance does not soften water.
Do not use ltered water in aquariums. Tap water, ltered or
unltered, can be harmful to sh.

Do not store puried water to avoid contamination. Air contact
contaminates puried water quickly. If you want to store puried
water, use a clean container and keep it in the refrigerator. Do not
keep it in the refrigerator longer than 1 day to avoid contamination.
General
This water purier also complies with the Brazilian standard ABNT-
NBR 14908.
This appliance is intended to be used for water that complies with
Administrative Rule no. 518 issued by the Brazilian Ministry of Health.
Features
Philips’ multi-ltration system consists of a primary lter, a secondary
lter, a high-tech hollow-bre membrane lter, an ion exchanger
lter and a granular activated carbon lter.
The hollow bre membrane contains more than 300 billion
micropores that are small enough to remove particles down to
0.1µm. It eliminates 99.99%* of bacteria, rust and other particles
larger than the micropore size from your tap water without removing
calcium, magnesium and other minerals that are vital to your body. (*
tested according to Japanese Water Purier Association (JWPA)
standard).
The ion exchanger removes soluble lead.
The granular activated carbon removes the harmful chlorination by-
products, harmful industrial pollutants such as volatile organic
chemicals, and agricultural pollutants such as the pesticide CAT as
well as the unpleasant chlorine smell and taste from your tap water.
Apart from the recommended cartridge lifetime, Philips’ unique
cartridge replacement indicator helps you determine when to replace
the lter cartridge.
The 1.6ltrs/min high-speed initial ow rate gives you plenty of clean
water instantly.
The water selection lever offers you a choice of three water ow
types: unltered spray, unltered stream or ltered spray.
The nine tap-mounting adapters supplied with the water purier
allow easy installation on almost any type of tap.

The bayonet-type mount ensures quick, easy and secure lter
cartridge replacement.
Preparing for use
Before installation
The screw thread of the tap is sharp.
Before you install the water purier, make sure all tap-mounting
adapters you require are present.
The tap must have a diameter of 13mm-25mm.
Determine what type of tap you have and select the appropriate
adapter.
The adapters supplied make the water purier suitable for almost
any kitchen tap. However, the water purier may not t some
uncommon types of taps.
The tap water pressure has to be between 0.7kgf/cm² (7 metres of
water column/70kPa) and 3.5kgf/cm² (35 metres of water column/
350kPa). If you use the water purier at a water pressure outside this
range, either the ltered water ow will be extremely low or the
water purier will get damaged.
Installation A-type adapter
For taps with a round spout with a diameter of 16mm, 17.5mm or
19mm (Fig. 2).
1 Remove the attachment nut and the adapter from the water
purier housing (Fig. 3).
2 Pass the attachment nut over the tap spout (Fig. 4).
3 Place the matching adapter (A-type) over the tip of the spout. The
16mm adapter is packed with the water purier. Replace it with
the 17.5mm adapter or 19mm adapter to t the diameter of your
tap (Fig. 5).
4 Screw the attachment nut rmly onto the water purier
housing (Fig. 6).

1 Remove the attachment nut and the adapter from the water
purier (Fig. 8).
2 Remove the aerator cap from the tap and pass the attachment nut
over the spout. Take out the original adapter and screw the
matching adapter (B-type) onto the tap (Fig. 9).
3 Tighten the adapter further with a coin (Fig. 10).
4 Firmly screw the attachment nut onto the water purier
housing (Fig. 11).
Installation C-type adapter
For taps with an aerator (threaded on the inside) (Fig. 12).
1 Remove the attachment nut and the adapter from the water
purier housing (Fig. 13).
2 Remove the aerator cap from the tap. Take out the original adapter
and screw the matching adapter (C-type) onto the tap through the
attachment nut. If water leakage occurs, wind Teon tape round the
screw thread of the adapter before you screw it onto the
tap. (Fig. 14)
3 Tighten the adapter further with a coin (Fig. 15).
4 Firmly screw the attachment nut onto the water purier
housing (Fig. 16).
Installation D-type adapter
For taps other than A, B or C. (Fig. 17)
1 Remove the attachment nut and the adapter from the water
purier housing (Fig. 18).
2 Screw the D-type adapter about halfway onto the water selection
unit. Make sure to leave enough room in order to tighten the tting
at a later step. (Fig. 19)

3 Push the water selection unit rmly onto the tap from below and
tighten the 4 screws evenly. Make sure that you keep the tap in the
center of the screw fastener. At the same time maintain pressure
on the water purier housing from below (Fig. 20).
4 Screw the attachment nut rmly onto the water purier
housing (Fig. 21).
Make sure the rubber washer is rmly pushed against the tap to prevent
water leakage.
Installing the lter cartridge
1 Make sure the tap is closed.
2 Set the water selection lever to the unltered stream
position (Fig. 22).
3 Tilt the lter cartridge 90° backwards and insert it into the water
purier housing. (Fig. 23)
4 Pull the cartridge upwards until it is in upright position. (Fig. 24)
5 Air trapped inside the lter cartridge affects the ow rate of the
ltered water. To avoid this, slightly open the tap and let water run
through the lter cartridge for 30 seconds after you install/replace
the lter cartridge. The slow stream of water helps to remove any
air trapped in the lter.
Using the appliance
1 Make sure that the water purier housing and the lter cartridge
are properly installed.
2 Turn the water selection lever to the desired setting (‘click’).
The water selection lever has 3 settings: ltered spray, unltered spray
and unltered stream. See the sections below.
3 Open the tap.
Water comes out of the tap at the selected setting.
,
ENGLISH 11

Filtered spray
Select this setting for drinking, washing vegetables or fruits and
for cooking.
1 Turn the water selection lever until the ltered spray symbol is
aligned with the indicator (Fig. 25).
Do not let water hotter than 50°C run through the water purier at
this setting, as this may damage the water purier.
If you lter water between 35°C and 50°C, the water may have an
unpleasant smell. The lter cartridge has absorbed this smell during
ltering, but releases it again if you lter water hotter than 35°C.
Unltered spray
Select this setting for washing dishes and other jobs that require a gentle
water ow.
1 Turn the water selection lever until the unltered spray symbol is
aligned with the indicator (Fig. 26).
Do not let water hotter than 50°C run through the water purier at
this setting, as this may damage the water purier.
Unltered stream
Select this setting for a strong water ow.
1 Turn the water selection lever until the unltered stream symbol is
aligned with the indicator (Fig. 22).
Do not let water hotter than 50°C run through the water purier at
this setting as this may damage the water purier.
Cleaning
Never use scouring pads, detergents, abrasive cleaning agents or
aggressive liquids such as thinner, alcohol, petrol or acetone to clean
ENGLISH12

the appliance. These substances may cause cracking, discolouration or
distortion.
1 Clean the ltered water outlet with a clean toothbrush and wipe
off any contamination with a clean cloth.
Note: Do not use a used toothbrush, as it may transfer bacteria to the water
outlet.
2 Clean the appliance with a moist cloth.
3 Regularly clean the stainless steel screen and the unltered water
inlet under a running tap with a clean and soft brush.
Replacement
New lter cartridges are available under type number WP3922.
Replace the lter cartridge if it is clogged to prevent damage to the
water purier.
No part of the cartridge can be reused. Discard the used cartridge and
replace it with a new one.
When to replace lter cartridge
The actual lifetime of the lter cartridge depends on the quality of the
local water and the water pressure. For optimal performance of the
water purier, replace the lter cartridge if one of the following situations
occurs:
The hollow bre of the lter cartridge (visible through the cartridge
window) has turned rust brown or dark grey (see section ‘Cartridge
replacement indicator’).
You have used the lter cartridge for 6 months.
The volume of puried water decreases substantially.
The ltered water still has an unpleasant smell or is still turbid
after purication.
Cartridge replacement indicator
To help you determine when to replace the lter cartridge, the water
purier and each replacement lter cartridge comes with a self-adhesive
-
-
-
-
ENGLISH 13

colour-coded cartridge replacement indicator. Place this replacement
indicator in a convenient place for future reference.
Tip: Remove the cover of the lter cartridge and stick the cartridge
replacement indicator to the inside of the cover. Check the colour of the
hollow bre of the lter cartridge through the cartridge window from time to
time. If the colour of the lter matches the rust brown or dark grey shown on
the cartridge replacement indicator, replace the lter cartridge (Fig. 27).
Reduced lter cartridge life
The lter cartridge has a shorter life and should be replaced more
frequently in the following situations:
The water pressure is very low.
The pipes and water tank are worn.
The tap water is contaminated due to plumbing activities or cleaning
of the water tank.
When you use cloudy water immediately after heavy rain.
How to replace the lter cartridge
