T6 – Better water, pure and simple
Why read this?
This guide isn’t particularly poetic or inspirational – it’s the quick way to get to know
the amazingly convenient features of your T6.
Your Virgin Strauss Water technician has showed you the basics so make a cuppa and settle
down for a few minutes of light reading. It will save you time in the long run. Promise.
At the touch of a button
A few buttons actually, but beautifully simple to operate. The T6 gives you an endless supply
of chilled and boiling water – or any temperature in between. There are lots of brilliant ways to
customise the T6 so it works exactly the way you want. For instance, programming it for your
rst drink of the day, so you get a few more minutes in bed.
Child-friendly thinking
The T6 is innovative for your kitchen and safe for all the family. The ‘child safety’ lock
(see page 12) provides ingenious and indispensable protection for little ngers. The purifying
process removes the nasties and keeps all the essential minerals for healthy teeth and bones.
Plus, it will change the amount of water your family will drink!
Let’s get started
Tested and certied to the highest international standards and professionally installed,
you should enjoy years of trouble-free use.
If you can’t do what you’re trying to do, please

• visit the support section of www.virgin-pure.com
• call us on 0845 301 7700
Tip: the T6 displays a series of menus. It’s simple to programme and even easier to use for
any age and level of technical ability. Even your Great Grandma can work it.

*Due to possible  uctuations in water supply pressure there is a possibility of an inaccuracy
in the pre-set water quantity. It’s important to check that the desired quantity was actually
delivered (this is especially important when pre-paring baby food, medications, etc).

4.2 Changing the  lter and UV lamp
To keep providing pure, crisp water, the  lter should be replaced every six months
(about 2,000 litres/ 520 gallons of water), and the UV lamp every year.
The replacement procedures for both the  lter and UV lamp are easy to perform
and clearly set out in the instructions that come with each pack.
We send everything you need to carry out these replacements
Every 6 months, your pack will contain:
A cleaning capsule – to run the de-scaling process
A replacement  lter
At 12 months, your pack will contain:
A cleaning capsule – to run the de-scaling process
A replacement  lter
A new UV lamp
So long as you run the de-scaling process and change the  lter every 6 months, and
change the UV lamp every year, your T6 will keep pumping out beautiful, clean, crisp water.
It is important to read the instructions before changing the parts.
The REPLACE FILTER message will appear six
months after the last  lter counter reset.
The REPLACE LAMP message will appear a
year after the last UV lamp counter reset.

4.2.1 Every 6 months - the de-scaling process and inserting a new  lter
The cleaning capsule which runs the de-scaling process contains citric salt for scale removal.
The T6 can’t be used during the scale removal process for approximately six hours, it’s best
performed overnight. Your T6 needs to be de-scaled before you change your  lter.
Remove the rubber pad.
Insert the capsule into the
 lter’s position (in either
direction), until it snaps
 rmly into place.
Do not drink water from the
T6 from this point until the
process is complete.
After waiting for six hours, press
EXTRA HOT, and then wait until
the water boils. Dispense four
litres of water by pressing HOT.
Air may still be present in the
system so a light spluttering
may occur. Note: If there are
still scale particles in the water,
repeat this step.
Press PUSH and pull the  lter
upward, using the ribbon
tab. Dispose of the  lter in
accordance with your Local
Authority guidelines.
Press HOT and let the hot
water run for 1 minute.
Place a  ve-litre container
under the spout.
Remove the cleaning capsule
from its package. Wet the
stems (legs) of the capsule
under a regular tap to
lubricate before inserting.
Press EXTRA HOT, and wait
for the water to boil.
Stick the enclosed warning
label on the front of the device
to ensure no one else uses it
