Warning
-
This water purier is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensor y or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
-
the water purier.
Do not let water hotter than 50°C run through the water purier, as
-
this may damage the water purier.
Do not let the water purier freeze.
-
Before daily use
To prevent quick clogging of the lter cartridge, let the water run at
-
the unltered setting for around 5 seconds before every use.
If the water is highly coloured or turbid due to work on your water
-
network, do not let the water run at the ltered setting until the
water is clear.
Cautions:
-
1 Let the water run at the ltered setting for 10 seconds before use
each day.
2 Let the water run at the ltered setting for 60 seconds before use if
you have not used the water purier for more than two days.
3 If you have not used the water purier for more than two weeks, let
the water run at the ltered setting for 2-3 minutes before use. If the
lter cartridge emits an unpleasant smell, replace it with a new one.
During use
-
Only use the water purier to lter water that meets drinking water
standards.
Do not block the ltered water outlet or connect other devices to it.
-
ENGLISH8
If the water pressure is very high, reduce the water ow of the tap to
prevent damage to the cartridge.
Keep the water purier away from heat to avoid distortion or
breakage.
Do not tamper with the water purier.
-
Do not remove the lter cartridge while you use the water purier
-
Do not use the water purier without a lter cartridge.
-
Do not place the water purier near a window where it is exposed
to direct sunlight.
This water purier does not soften water.
-
Do not use ltered water in aquariums. Tap water, ltered or
-
unltered, can be harmful to sh.
Do not store puried water to avoid contamination. Air contact
-
contaminates puried water quickly. If you want to store puried
water, use a clean container and keep it in the refrigerator. Do not
keep it in the refrigerator longer than 1 day to avoid contamination.
Features
Philips’ multi-ltration system consists of a primary lter, a secondary
-
lter, a high-tech hollow-bre membrane lter, a granular activated
carbon lter and a granular activated coral lter.
The hollow bre membrane contains more than 1200 billion
micropores that are small enough to remove particles down to
0.1µm. It eliminates 99.99%* of bacteria, rust and other particles
larger than the micropore size from your tap water without removing
calcium, magnesium and other minerals that are vital to your body. (*
tested according to Japanese Water Purier Association (JWPA)
standard).
The granular activated carbon removes unpleasant chlorine smell, bad
taste and odours from your tap water.
The granular activated coral enriches your ltered water with natural
minerals to improve the taste and to make it healthier.
The 360° swivel arm and the swivel nozzle provide ultimate control
-
of the ltered water ow.

Preparing for use
Mounting the water selection unit
When you exchange the adapter, beware the screw thread of the tap is
sharp.
Before you install the water purier, make sure all tap adapters you
require are present.
The tap must have a diameter of 13mm-25mm.
Determine what type of tap you have and select the appropriate
tap adapter.
The tap adapters supplied make the water purier suitable for almost
-
any kitchen tap. However, the water purier may not t some
uncommon types of taps.
The tap water pressure has to be between 0.7kgf/cm² and 3.5kgf/cm².
-
If you use the water purier at a water pressure below this range, the
ltered water ow is either extremely low or there is no ow at all.
On the other hand, if the water pressure exceeds this range, the
water purier gets damaged.
