Configurazione e installazione

1. Preparare il filtro: Wash your hands thoroughly before unwrapping the new Brita Elite filter.
2. Pre-soak (Optional but Recommended): While not strictly required for Brita Elite filters, some users prefer to run the new filter under cold tap water for a few minutes to remove any loose carbon dust.
3. Inserisci il filtro: Open the lid of your Brita pitcher or dispenser. Locate the filter housing. Insert the new Brita Elite filter into the reservoir, aligning the pitcher notch with the filter groove. Press firmly to ensure a tight seal.
4. Filtrazione iniziale: Fill the reservoir with cold tap water. Discard the first three pitchers of filtered water, or use this water for non-drinking purposes like watering plants. This step helps to flush out any remaining carbon dust and activate the filter.
5. Godere: After the initial flush, your Brita filtered water is ready for consumption.

Istruzioni per l'uso

Using your Brita pitcher or dispenser with the Elite filter is straightforward:

• Riempimento: Lift the lid and pour cold tap water directly into the reservoir. The water will slowly filter through the Brita Elite filter into the main pitcher/dispenser chamber.
• Erogazione: Once the water has filtered, you can pour it from the pitcher or use the spigot on dispensers.
• Indicatore del filtro: Many Brita pitchers and dispensers include an electronic filter indicator. Refer to your pitcher's specific manual for instructions on how to reset this indicator after replacing the filter.

Manutenzione e sostituzione filtri

For optimal performance and continued clean, great-tasting water, regular filter replacement is crucial.

• Frequenza di sostituzione: The Brita Elite filter should be replaced approximately every 6 months or after filtering 120 gallons (454 liters) of water. This timing is based on average household usage of 11 glasses per day.
• Segnali di sostituzione: You may notice a decrease in filtration speed or a return of tap water taste/odor as the filter nears the end of its life.
• Processo di sostituzione: Follow the "Setup and Installation" steps to replace your old filter with a new one. The pull-top cap on the Elite filter makes removal and insertion easy.
• Pulizia: Periodically clean your Brita pitcher or dispenser with mild soap and water. Do not wash the filter with soap.

Risoluzione dei problemi

If you encounter any issues with your Brita Elite filter, consider the following:

• Chlorine Taste/Odor Returns: This is a primary indicator that your filter needs to be replaced. Ensure the filter is properly seated and replace it if the issue persists.
• Slow Filtration Speed: As the filter absorbs contaminants, its flow rate may naturally decrease. A significantly slow flow often means the filter is saturated and needs replacement.
• Macchie nere nell'acqua: These are typically harmless carbon particles. Ensure you have properly flushed the new filter as per the setup instructions. If they persist, re-flush the filter or replace it. The fibrous matrix in Brita Elite filters is designed to hold active ingredients in place to prevent this.
• Filtro non posizionato correttamente: Ensure the filter is aligned with the groove in the reservoir and pushed down firmly. If it floats up, it may not be correctly installed.
