If you have questions regarding the filter cartridge, contact the BRITA Consumer Service at 0844 742 4800 (toll-free).

Unroll or push in the right amount of cable from the cable compartment and plug the cable into a power outlet.
Remove the water tank and clean it thoroughly under running water.
Insert the filter cartridge as described in the "BRITA MAXTRA water filter system" section.
Fill the water tank up to the max mark with fresh, cold, non-carbonated drinking water.
Replace the water tank and push it firmly downward into place.
Set the on/off switch to on. All display items will light up briefly, and then the 90°C icon stays lit.
Place a glass or cup holding at least 150 ml on the cup stand under the water outlet.
Press the start/stop button to dispense one portion of water to rinse the appliance.
Note: Before using the appliance for the first time or after a long period of non-use, do not drink the first two glasses of water. The machine is now ready to use.

BRITA MAXTRA water filter system
In models equipped with a water filter system, only BRITA MAXTRA water filter cartridges may be used. BRITA MAXTRA cartridges can be purchased from retailers or directly from Bosch Customer Service.
The appliance can be used with or without a filter cartridge. Keep in mind that you will enjoy the benefits of BRITA filtration only if a MAXTRA filter cartridge is installed in the appliance. Tea and coffee also have more aroma when prepared with fresh, BRITA-filtered water.
To use the machine without a filter, simply remove the filter holder and the filter cartridge and adjust the machine settings accordingly.
Important: The Filter Yes/No setting controls the filter replacement indicator.
Changing the filter setting
Turn the appliance off with the on/off switch.
Press and hold the temp. set button.
Turn the appliance back on with the on/off switch – the 💧 icon flashes.
Press the start/stop button to select the Filter Yes/No setting:
Yes = 💧 lights up
No = 💧 does not light up
Release the temp. set button – the setting is now stored, and the most recently selected temperature lights up.
Note: To change this setting at any time, repeat the above procedure.
After setting the filter to "yes", the 💧 symbol will light up after a certain time during operation. The BRITA MAXTRA filter cartridge is exhausted and needs to be changed.
Preparing and installing the BRITA MAXTRA filter cartridge
Remove the filter cartridge's protective packaging.
Immerse the filter cartridge in cold tap water and shake it lightly (for about five seconds) to remove any air bubbles.
Take the filter holder out of the water tank and firmly insert the cartridge into the holder until you hear a click.
Hold the filter holder under the water tap and fill it with fresh, cold water; let the water run through the BRITA MAXTRA filter cartridge.
Repeat this procedure two or three times.
Place the filter holder with the filter cartridge back into its position in the empty water tank and fill the tank with cold tap water.
Hold down start/stop button for at least 2 seconds to delete 💧.
Note: To replace the cartridge, simply pull on the strap attached to the top of the cartridge. When installing a new cartridge, follow the above steps for preparing and inserting a cartridge.
Used BRITA MAXTRA water filter cartridges can be disposed of with the regular household garbage. For questions, contact BRITA Consumer Service at 0844 742 4800 (toll-free).
Important information
Always store spare filter cartridges sealed in the original packaging in a cool and dry place.
BRITA water filters are designed for use only with municipally treated tap water (note: this water is constantly controlled and according to legal regulations safe to drink) or with water from private supplies which has been tested as safe to drink. If an instruction is received from the authorities that mains water must be boiled, the BRITA filtered water must also be boiled. When the instruction to boil water is no longer in force, the appliance and filter funnel must be cleaned and a new cartridge inserted to ensure any residual contaminants are removed.
Please filter cold tap water only.
Clean the appliance and filter funnel regularly.
For certain groups of people (e.g. those with impaired immunity and for babies), it is generally recommended that tap water should be boiled; this also applies to BRITA filtered water.
For hygiene reasons, the MAXTRA cartridge contents are subject to special treatment with silver. A very small amount of silver may be transferred to the water. This transference would be within the World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines.
During the filtering process, there may be a slight increase in potassium content. However, one litre of BRITA filtered water contains less potassium than e.g. an apple. If you have kidney disease and/or follow a potassium restricted diet, Bosch recommends that you consult your doctor before using a BRITA water filter.
Should your BRITA appliance not be in use for a prolonged period (e.g. holiday), BRITA recommends that you take out the cartridge, discard any water left inside the BRITA water filter and loosely insert the MAXTRA cartridge again. Before using the BRITA water filter again take out the cartridge, clean the appliance and funnel thoroughly and repeat the steps of the instructions for use in chapter: "Preparing and installing the BRITA MAXTRA filter cartridge”.
BRITA filtered water is dedicated for human consumption. It is a perishable food and as such please consume within 1 to 2 days.
Descaling
Your appliance has an automatic descaling programme. When the 🔧 icon lights up, run the descaling programme as soon as possible. If the descaling programme is not run as instructed, the appliance may be damaged.
Tip: With very hard, calciferous water, please descale the appliance more often than the 🔧 symbol is displayed. Even filtered water contains low amounts of calcium carbonate.
Turn the appliance off with the on/off switch.
Press and hold the start/stop button.
Turn the appliance back on with the on/off switch.
Release the start/stop button as soon as the 🔧 symbol lights up.
Now proceed as described under "Running the descaling programme".
Suitable descaling agents are available from Bosch Customer Service (Article No. 310967) or from specialty retailers.
Notes:
Never interrupt the descaling programme.
Never drink any of the liquids used in descaling.
Never use vinegar or vinegar-based products.
Always remove the filter holder and the filter cartridge before starting the descaling programme.
Running the descaling programme
Remove the water tank, pour out any remaining water, and reinsert it.
Prepare the descaling solution according to the manufacturer's instructions and pour it into the water tank up to the calc mark. A descaling agent approved especially for this machine is available from Bosch Customer Service (Article No. 310967) or from specialty retailers.
Place a container holding at least 500 ml under the water outlet. The container must fit the cup stand exactly and must remain in place. Set the cup stand to the lowest position.
Press and hold the start/stop button for at least 10 seconds to start the descaling programme.
The descaling programme will now run automatically. The 🔧 icon flashes while the programme is running. (The programme runs for approx. 10 minutes).
The descaling solution is pumped through the appliance in multiple phases and then runs into the container until the water tank is almost empty. A small amount of solution is always left in the tank.
When the most recently selected temperature icon lights up, the descaling program has finished.
Rinse the water tank thoroughly and fill up to the max mark with fresh water.
Now select and draw warm water three times to rinse out the appliance. Do not drink this water!
Important: Do not interrupt the descaling process under any circumstances. If the programme is interrupted because of, for example, too little water or a power failure, it must be restarted.
The appliance is now fully operational again, and you can re-insert the filter holder with the BRITA MAXTRA filter cartridge.
