Read this user manual carefully before you use the water purier and

- This water purier is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given


supervision or instruction concerning use of the water purier by a
person responsible for their safety.
- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the water purier.

- 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.
- Cautions:
1 Let the water run at the ltered setting for 10 seconds before use
each day.
2 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.
3 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.

- Do not let water hotter than 65°C run through the water purier at
the unltered setting or hotter than 50°C at the ltered setting.
This may damage the water purier.
- Do not let the water purier freeze.

- Only use the water purier to lter water that meets drinking water
standards.
- Do not use this water purier in combination with electric taps.
- 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.
 7

- Do not remove the lter cartridge while you use the water purier.
- Do not install the water purier near a window where it is exposed
to direct sunlight.
- Do not use the water purier without a lter cartridge.
- This water purier does not soften water.
- Do not use ltered water in aquariums. Tap water, ltered or
unltered, can be harmful to sh.
- This water purier is intended for household use only.
- 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.

- Philips’ multi-ltration system consists of a primary lter, a secondary
lter, a high-tech hollow-bre membrane lter and a granular
activated carbon lter.
- The hollow bre membrane contains more than 520 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 granular activated carbon removes 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 2ltrs/min high-speed initial ow rate gives you a 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 eight 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.

- 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) and 3.5kgf/cm² (35 metres of water column). 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.
