Read this user manual carefully before you use the water purier and
save it for future reference.

- 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.

New lter cartridges are available under type number WP3911.
Replace the lter cartridge if it is clogged to prevent damage to the
water purier.
1 For optimal performance of the water purier, replace the lter
cartridge if either of the following situations occurs:
 You have used the lter cartridge for six months.
 The hollow bre of the lter cartridge (visible through the cartridge
window) has turned rust brown or dark grey (see section ‘Cartridge
replacement indicator’).
 The volume of puried water decreases substantially.
 The ltered water still has an unpleasant smell or is still turbid
after purication.
2 To change the lter, close the tap and set the water selection lever
to the unltered stream position. (Fig. 22)

new cartridge.
5 Tilt the new lter cartridge 90° backwards and insert it into the

- We advise you to replace the lter cartridge every 6 months, for
optimum performance. Please register your product online at http://
www.philips.com/welcome for more information on lter cartridge
replacement.
- To help you determine when to replace the lter cartridge, the water
purier and each replacement lter cartridge comes with a self-
adhesive 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).

This chapter lists the questions most frequently asked about the water
purier. If you cannot nd the answer to your question, contact the
Consumer Care Centre in your country.
Question Answer
Why does water
leak from
the attachment nut?
Perhaps you have not installed the water
purier properly. Reinstall the water purier
according to the instructions in this user manual.
Perhaps the attachment nut or the tap-
mounting adapter is damaged. Contact an
authorised Philips service centre.
Perhaps the tap water pressure is higher than
specied.
You may need to wind some Teon tape around
the thread of the adapter.
Why is the water
ow weak at
the unltered
setting?
Perhaps the stainless steel screen under the
rubber washer inside the water purier housing
is clogged. Clean it with a toothbrush and rinse
it.
Why is the water
ow is weak at the
ltered setting?
Perhaps the lter cartridge is clogged. Replace
the lter cartridge.
Perhaps the tap water pressure is lower than
specied.

posición de ltrado hasta que esté clara.
- Precauciones:
1 Deje correr el agua en la posición de ltrado durante 10 segundos
antes de usarla cada día.
2 Deje correr el agua en la posición de ltrado durante 60 segundos
antes de usarla si no ha utilizado el puricador de agua desde hace

- No coloque el puricador de agua cerca de una ventana en la que
quede expuesto a la luz solar directa.
- No utilice el puricador de agua sin cartucho de ltrado.
- Este puricador de agua no “ablanda” el agua.
- No utilice agua ltrada en acuarios. El agua del grifo, ltrada o no,
puede ser nociva para los peces.
- Este puricador de agua está diseñado únicamente para uso
doméstico.
- No almacene agua puricada para evitar que se contamine. El
contacto con el aire contamina el agua puricada rápidamente. Si
desea almacenar agua puricada, utilice un recipiente limpio y
guárdelo en el frigoríco. No lo guarde en el frigoríco más de un día
para evitar que el agua se contamine.

los adaptadores que vaya a necesitar para acoplar al grifo.
- El grifo debe tener un diámetro de 13 a 25 mm.
- Determine el tipo de grifo que tiene y seleccione el adaptador
adecuado.
- Los adaptadores suministrados permiten instalar el puricador de
agua en casi cualquier grifo de cocina. Sin embargo, puede que el
puricador de agua no sea apropiado para modelos de grifos poco
corrientes.
- La presión del agua del grifo debe estar entre 0,7 kgf/cm² (7 metros

extremadamente lento o que el puricador de agua se dañe.
