• You will have great tasting water at your ﬁ ngertips

• It is economical, convenient and easy to use

• It is ideal for cooking healthy food e.g. rice is ﬂ uffy, naturally white and smells fantastic your pasta will smell and taste fantastic when cooked with the

best natural ingredients and that includes ﬁ ltered water

leaves your vegetables bursting with colour and ﬂ avour The BRITA Tap has two levers. One for BRITA ﬁ ltered water and

the other for your regular unﬁ ltered hot/cold water.

The A 1000 ﬁ lter 0.5 micron carbon block ﬁ lter cartridge signiﬁ cantly reduces:

• Chlorine, unpleasant tastes and odours

• Small particles (such as rust, dust and sand)

• Organic impurities

Lifetime of the A 1000 ﬁ lter cartridge

A 1000 ﬁ lter cartridge life depends on local water quality. For optimum performance and hygiene, it is recommended that the ﬁ lter cartridge be replaced at least six-monthly.

Your digital BRITA cartridge exchange indicator displays the remaining number of days until the ﬁ lter cartridge is to be replaced and alerts you with an audible alarm after 180 days to change the cartridge. You should check the digital display periodically. For more information, see chapter 3.2.

3.4 Step 4: Attaching the hoses

The supplied hose for connection to the cold water supply requires the availability of an already installed ½" isolation or angle valve). Before installation, please ensure you have such a free ½" isolation or angle valve and that it is working properly (closeable to 100 %). If not, please contact a licensed plumber. In accordance with regulations, the stopcock) which is included in your kit must be installed at

the point of connection to the water supply before the ﬁ lter system intake hose. Behind the stopcock or isolation valve a pressure limited valve must always be installed to ensure the right function of the cartridge. Plumbing tape should be used on all threads in this sub-assembly and tested to ensure there are no leaks.

Please follow the diagram below (see ﬁ g. 7) and perform the steps in the right order.

A Connect supplied T-piece on your cold water supply a) Insert one 1/2" washer into the female nut of the supplied

T-piece. b) Connect this end of the t-piece to your cold water supply.

If you do have an additional free 1/2" cold water supply for

the BRITA Tap in your kitchen, you do not need to install the

supplied T-piece.

B Connect the hose with the blue stripe to one side of the T-piece

or free ½” cold water supply using washer supplied.

C Take the hose with two 1/2" connectors. Insert the 1/2" washers

into the respective female threads of the two hose ends. Connect one end with the free side of the T-Piece.

D Now connect the other end to the ﬁ lter head inlet. This is labelled

“IN” and marked with an arrow. Make sure that the washers are seated correctly!

E Connect the 800 mm hose to the “OUT” (connection point on

ﬁ lter head) which labelled with an out arrow.

F Connect the hose with the red stripe with your hot water supply G Make sure all connections are tightened properly. Avoid over

tightening.

We recommend that you ﬁ rst arrange all parts you need in front of you.

Recommended tools for installation: one Allen key and an adjustable spanner.

Recommended for installation of the wall mount bracket: two screws (e.g. 5 mm in size suited to the mounting surface) and two wall plugs (if necessary).

Hot water supply

(ﬁ g. 8)

The max. tightening torque for the 1/2" connections may not exceed 14 Nm! Only hose connections with washers may be used – hoses with conical screw connections

damage the connections of the ﬁ lter head and invalidate any warranty claims.

Cold water supply

(ﬁ g. 9)

The ﬁ lter cartridge can only be inserted when the locking

handle (3) is open.

Make sure that the ﬁ lter cartridge is positioned correctly and

all o-rings are correctly positioned.

3.6 Step 6: Install ﬁ lter-head wall-mount bracket

(see ﬁ g. 10)

During assembly, note the installation dimensions, bending radii of the hoses and dimensions of the accessories. The system can be operated with the ﬁ lter cartridge in either vertical or horizontal positions. Using the mounting bracket,

it should be installed only vertically, with the “UP” arrow on the bracket correctly positioned.

3.7 Step 7: Commissioning

Before use, make sure that you have followed all the steps correctly and all the parts are ﬁ tted. Place a suitable container under the cartridge to catch any leakages.

A Turn on the cold and hot water supplies and check the system

carefully for any leaks.

B Open the BRITA Tap and allow water to run until the ﬁ ltered

water runs clear and without any bubbles (at least 1 litre).

A Attach the space-saving wall mount bracket (1) in place using two

matching screws and use two wall plugs (not supplied), depending on the type of wall. Position it in an accessible place to allow for 90° pivoting of the head for easy exchange of the ﬁ lter.

B Engage the ﬁ lter head (2) in the wall mount (1) using the notches

For models WD 3030 and WD 3040 only

These models have an aerator with two integrated outlets. The Inner one is for BRITA ﬁ ltered water, the outer area for hot and cold water. As with every tap aerator, there can be lime scale build up in the outer area. Therefore it is recommended to clean the aerator on a regular basis. For cleaning: Unscrew the cap on the end of the dispenser’s neck. The aerator is connected to a silicon hose. Detach it carefully and clean the aerator (e.g. with vinegar). After cleaning connect the long, thin part on the back of the aerator carefully with the silicon hose. Place the cap over the aerator and screw it tight.

Make sure that the washer in the cap is seated correctly. When installed correctly there should not be any leaks whilst running hot, cold or BRITA ﬁ ltered water.

If you want to replace the aerator with a new one, you can order it from BRITA. You can ﬁ nd the contact details for your BRITA customer service team next to your country code on the back of this booklet.
