IMPORTANT NOTES
Always treat the filtered water as a
“food stuff” and follow the hygiene
guidelines below:
●
Always wash your hands before
handling the unwrapped filter
cartridges, especially if you have
been preparing raw food such as
meat or poultry.
●
Consume filtered water
immediately or store in a
refrigerator. Discard any unused
filtered water after 24 hours.
●
The filter is for treating mains tap
water only. Do not filter hot or
boiling water.
●
Clean the jug, lid and hopper
regularly, at least every time you
change the cartridge.
●
Once fitted the filter cartridge
should be kept in contact with the
water.
●
During prolonged period of non
use (eg holiday), any unwrapped
or partly-used cartridges should be
stored in the refrigerator - ideally
still inserted in the water hopper.
●
If the filter has not been used for
48 hours, flush the cartridge
through by filling the hopper twice
and discarding the water.
●
Like tap water filtered water should
be boiled and cooled before being
given to babies and young infants.
●
Always check the date code on
the cartridge wrapper. If past the
use by date, discard.
●
For hygiene reasons and
regardless of usage always change
the cartridge every 30 days.
●
The filter should be kept out of
direct sunlight and away from
other heat sources.
●
Do not store the cartridges next to
household chemicals or cleaning
products.
●
In the event of your water supplier
issuing a “boil notice” (or similar
emergency indicating that your
water supply may be temporarily
unsafe) the filter system should not
be used, and any cartridge in use
should be disposed of.
