KAMBROOK

Welcome to Kambrook and your new Kambrook Aquarius Filter Carafé. We trust that you will enjoy the benefits of healthy, clear, great tasting water using your Kambrook filtration carafé.

Making great tasting drinking water is easy with your Kambrook Aquarius Filter Carafé plus you can save money on purchasing expensive bottle water.

The clean fresh taste of Kambrook filtered water makes it also ideal for other uses.

IMPORTANT NOTES

The percentage removal and filtration rates were tested and verified by an independent Australian laboratory.

We recommend using the Kambrook water filter only with municipally treated tap water or with bore or tank water that has been tested to be microbiologically safe.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality.

FEATURES OF YOUR KAMBROOK AQUARIUS FILTER CARAFÉ

• In coffee and tea preparation - to enhance the taste and aroma

• Used in electrical appliances such as kettles and irons to reduce the build up of scale inside the appliances especially in hard water areas

• Use filtered water in cooking, from boiling pasta and rice to using in soups and making ice cubes.

• Ideal for mixing baby formula (ensure that you still boil the water after filtration as normal)

• And it’s not just humans that can benefit from filtered water, great for cut flowers, potted plants and pets.

Please follow the following instructions on how to best use the filter carafé and replacement of water filter cartridges and retain them for future reference.

The filter will last for approximately 200 litres or approximately one month - this will vary greatly depending on the quality of tap water in your local area.

After filtering, water will remain inside the filter holder - this is a safety feature, to inhibit the growth of bacteria inside the filter.

Do not leave the carafé in direct sunlight.

If not used for a prolonged period of time empty the carafé, clean and dry throughly and store in a dry, dark cool place.

If freezing water whilst in the carafé, ensure to remove inner vessel and filter cartridge before placing the carafé in the freezer.

PREPARATION/ CONDITIONING THE FILTER CARTRIDGE BEFORE USE

Before using the filter cartridge for the first time, it is important to “condition” the filter cartridge. If the filter cartridge is not conditioned properly then water may not pass into the water carafé.

Remove the filter cartridge from its wrapper.

Place the filter cartridge on its side, in a clean container. Fully cover the filter cartridge with cold water. Keep the filter cartridge fully submerged for 5 minutes.

Before removing the filter cartridge from the water, shake the filter cartridge vigorously from end to end, to ensure all the air bubbles have escaped.

Now that you have conditioned the filter cartridge, place it inside the filter cartridge holder of the inner vessel by holding the conditioned filter cartridge by the narrow end and inserting into the filter cartridge holder. Push down gently to establish a seal.

Placing the inner vessel inside the carafé, fill the inner vessel with water. Allow it to filter through into the filter carafé. Once filtered empty this out. Repeat this process two or three times to ensure all the residual carbon dust has been removed.The water will then appear clear in the filter carafé.

FITTING THE WATER FILTER CARTRIDGE INTO THE CARAFÉ

Before using the carafé for the first time, wash and rinse the carafé, inner vessel and lid thoroughly.

Fit the inner vessel into the filter carafé.

Hold the conditioned filter by the narrow end and insert into the filter holder. Push down gently to establish the seal.

Note:The filter cartridge does not lock into place.

USING THE CARAFÉ

Fill the inner vessel with tap water and allow the water to filter into the carafé, Once the water has filtered through, the top inner vessel can be refilled again with water. This will then gradually filter through as water is used from the water carafé.

Note: If water is inside the inner vessel, when you pour ensure that you hold the lid on firmly whilst pouring to prevent unfiltered water from pouring into your glass.

REPLACEMENT FILTER CARTRIDGES

Use only Kambrook replacement filter cartridges – model numbers KWF100B (single pack) or KWF103B (3-pack)

The filter cartridge will last for approximately 200 litres or approximately one month - this will vary greatly depend on the quality of tap water in your local area.

Replacement filter cartridges are available from the store where you purchased this filter carafé as well as other retailers.

If you need the name of a stockist nearest you please call 1300 139 798. (Australia)

CLEANING THE CARAFÉ

We recommend that you wash the entire unit every time you change the filter.

Wash the unit thoroughly, if using dishwashing detergents ensure that you rinse the unit well - so the detergent is not able to be tasted.

Do not place any part in the dishwasher.

Do not use any abrasive cleaners or harsh cleaners.

Note: Average filter time for 1 litre of water is

ximately 4-5 minutes.The longer water takes

appr to filter the better quality of filtered water.
