Replacing the filter cartridge
New filter cartridges are available under type number WP3911.
Replace the filter cartridge if it is clogged to prevent damage to the 
water purifier.
No part of the cartridge can be reused. Discard the used cartridge and 
replace it with a new one. 
When to replace the filter cartridge
The actual lifetime of the filter cartridge depends on the quality of the 
local water and the water pressure. For optimal performance of the 
water purifier, replace the filter cartridge if one of the following situations 
occurs:
The display shows that the remaining filter capacity is 0 litres and 
keeps flashing.
The hollow fibre of the filter cartridge (visible through the cartridge 
window) has turned rust brown or dark grey (see section ‘Cartridge 
replacement indicator’). 
You have used the filter cartridge for 6 months.
The volume of purified water decreases substantially.
The filtered water still has an unpleasant smell or is still turbid 
after purification.
Cartridge replacement indicator
To help you determine when to replace the filter cartridge, the water 
purifier and each replacement filter cartridge comes with a self-adhesive 
colour-coded cartridge replacement indicator. Place this replacement 
indicator in a convenient place for future reference. 
Tip: Remove the cover of the filter cartridge and stick the cartridge 
replacement indicator to the inside of the cover. Check the colour of the 
hollow fibre of the filter cartridge through the cartridge window from time to 
time. If the colour of the filter matches the rust brown or dark grey shown on 
the cartridge replacement indicator, replace the filter cartridge (Fig. 28).
