Wash your hands with soap and water; then remove filter from filter bag.
NOTE: It is normal for a new filter to be wet when first opened. Filters are washed 

during manufacturing to prevent them from drying out. 

Soak filter upright in cold water for 15 minutes.

Hand-wash pitcher/dispenser, lid and reservoir with a mild  

detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Rinse well.
TIP: Hand-wash pitcher/dispenser, lid and reservoir 

periodically. Do not wash in dishwasher. For best results cleaning 

chrome pitcher lids, wipe with a soft sponge soaked in a solution 

of one teaspoon of vinegar in a cup of water. 

Rinse filter under cold, running tap water for a few seconds.

Insert filter into reservoir by lining up groove in filter with notch 

in reservoir. Press firmly to ensure a tight seal. Fill the reservoir 

with cold tap water.* Discard your first two pitchers of filtered 

water (or first dispenser), or use this water for plants. It is normal 

for carbon dust to appear in your first fillings.

For healthier, great-tasting water, replace your filter after 40 gallons/151 liters  
(about 2 months for the average family).

*Hot water should not be used with the Brita

®

 Pitcher Filter (Max. 85°F/29°C – Min. 32°F/0°C).

®

  For best results when filling pitcher/dispenser reservoir, pour tap  

 

water on the side of the reservoir rather than directly on top of  

the filter. Allow water to filter completely before pouring or refilling reservoir.

  Reduces Contaminants:

  Lead*
  Copper
  Mercury
  Cadmium
•

  Reduces Chlorine  

For maximum efficiency, filter no  

more than 2 gallons (7.5 liters) daily.

*Based on independent laboratory testing.

The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced  

by this water treatment device may not be in all users’ water.

  Changing your filter regularly ensures that you have clear, refreshing,  

 

healthier, great-tasting water. The Electronic Filter Change Indicator and 

Calendar Minder

™

 make it easy to know when 2 months* have passed. Reset your filter 

change indicator each time you replace your filter.

 (Smart Pitchers Only)

   1  Press firmly and hold the start button down for 5 to 10 seconds.
   2  As you hold down the button, 4 bars will appear in the display, one after the other.  
Do not release the start button until the 4 bars appear and start to flash. If you have difficulty  
pressing the start button, a capped ballpoint pen may be used to press the button down. 
   3  A small flashing dot in the lower right corner of the display shows the indicator is working.
   4  Every 2 weeks a bar automatically disappears. When only 1 bar remains, make sure  
you have a new filter on hand. 
   5  After 2 months (when all bars have disappeared), an arrow will flash at the top of the display  
reminding you to change your filter. After changing your filter, reset your indicator by following  
the steps above.

The filter change indicator contains a non-replaceable sealed battery designed to last 5 years, depending on usage.  
After 5 years the pitcher is still functional, but the electronic filter change indicator will eventually stop working.

  The Brita

®

 Pitcher Filter is not intended to purify water. Do not use with water that is 

microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before 
or after the system. Individuals requiring water of special microbiological purity 
should follow the advice of their doctor or local health officials regarding the use and 
consumption of their tap water and Brita

®

 water.

c

  We recommend that you store your Brita

®

 system in the refrigerator to get cold, great-

tasting water. If you would like to keep your Brita

®

 system outside of the refrigerator, 

we recommend that you keep it in a cool area that is not in direct sunlight and replace 
any filtered water that has been left sitting for several days or more. This will help make 
sure you get refreshing, great-tasting Brita

®

 water.

  It is important that the bottom of the filter be in contact with the filtered water to 

prevent the filter from drying out. If the filter dries out, resoak for 15 minutes.
