BRITA MAXTRA+ Preparation and Electronic Indicator Reset
MAXTRA+ Cartridge Preparation
In order for the cartridge to perform effectively, all contents need to be fully hydrated with water and any air bubbles need to be released. In order to do this, please follow the below steps.
Wash the jug thoroughly, taking care not to get water on the electronic indicator.
