Introduction
The Philips Water AWP225/24 Filter Cartridge is designed to provide clean, great-tasting water by effectively reducing common contaminants. This 3-stage instant filter utilizes innovative activated carbon fiber for efficient absorption, significantly reducing chlorine, lead, pesticides, microplastics, and other particles. It is specifically designed as a replacement filter for the Philips AWP2980WH carafe, offering a faster flow rate compared to traditional filters.
Each cartridge filters up to 100 liters of water, contributing to environmental sustainability by reducing the need for single-use plastic bottles.

Setup and Installation
This section provides instructions for installing your new Philips Water AWP225/24 Filter Cartridge into your compatible Philips AWP2980WH water carafe.
- Prepare the Filter: Remove the new filter cartridge from its packaging. It is recommended to rinse the new filter under cold tap water for approximately 1 minute to remove any loose carbon particles.

- Insert New Filter: Align the new AWP225/24 filter cartridge with the designated slot in the water carafe. Gently push and twist the filter clockwise until it is securely seated. Ensure a snug fit to prevent unfiltered water from bypassing the cartridge.
