3 Installation of the On Line Active Direct Kit

!

Installation of the fi lter system must comply with the relevant state or local plumbing regulations and standards (AS/NZS 3500). Depending on the necessary method of connection to the cold water supply, additional valves/adaptors/components may be required, and the services of a licensed plumber may be necessary. If you do not have an available connection to the cold water supply and it is necessary to cut into the cold water supply line, a licensed plumber is required.

Before starting, please check that you have all the components as listed above (see fi g. 1) as well as the recommended tools.There are 7 steps to the installation.

!Prior to installation, read the Technical Data (chapter 8) and the Important Information (chapter 9). (After storage and transport below 0°C, the product must be stored in the open original packaging for at least 24 hours at the stated ambient temperatures (chapter 8) for operation.)

3.1 Step 1: Selecting appropriate setting on the fi lter head

The fi lter head is set to the “++” setting by default. For use with the supplied A 1000 fi lter cartridge you need to change the setting in the window to “C”. Use an Allen key (hexagonal socket wrench) and turn the hexagonal nut in the direction of the arrow in the window until the “C” appears. Refer fi g. 2)(If the optional alternative fi lter cartridge, model Active Plus P 1000 (for hard water situations) is to be installed, the setting required is “+” or “++” depending on the determined water hardness.)

12 mm Drill

1. BRITA water dispenser2. Base (Work surface)3. Washer4. Counter plate5. Locking ring6. Hexagon nut (7/16")To start, fi nd a suitable place to install your BRITA water dispenser. We recommend installing it on a level section on the rear perimeter of your sink, space permitting; alternatively on the work surface adjoining the sink. It is important to ensure that there is clearance under the area where you will need to drill.Please, make sure that there is enough room and access under the sink to allow for the installation of the fi lter head and cartridge, and to connect the two supplied hoses. Determine the position for the convenient placement of the exchange indicator.

!

Please note that you will need the right drilling equipment for your particular work surface or base. Make sure the area under the dispenser is stable, especially if your work surface is not made from wood. Please check the drilling requirements for the material, use the appropriate drill and/or consult a specialist.

Drill a hole (with a 12-mm bit) into the surface where you wish to set up the BRITA water dispenser.Next, install the BRITA water dispenser (see fi g. 4).Then place the base (2) over the hole and fi x the BRITA water dispenser (1) in position using the supplied counter plate (4), the washer (3), the locking ring (5) and the hexagon nut (6).

3.4 Step 4: Attaching the hoses

!

The supplied hose for connection to the cold water supply requires the availability of an already installed 1/2" BSP male connection point (typically integrated with a mini-stop tap). Before installation, please ensure you have such a free 1/2" cold water connection point. If not, please contact a licensed plumber.In accordance with regulations, the shut-off valve (also called isolating valve) and the non-return valve (with back-fl ow prevention) which are included in your kit must be installed at the point of connection to the water supply before the fi lter system intake hose. Plumbing tape should be used on all threads in this sub-assembly and tested to ensure there are no leaks.

We recommend that you fi rst arrange all parts you need in front of you.Recommended tools for installation: one Allen key and an adjustable spanner.Recommended for installation of the wall mount bracket: two screws (e.g. 5 mm in size suited to the mounting surface) and two wall plugs (if necessary).

III. Important notes

9 Operation and Safety

Protect the On Line Active Direct water fi lter kit from direct sun-light and mechanical damage.Do not assemble near sources of heat and open fl ames. A stop valve must be installed before the fi lter system intake hose.If the water pressure is greater than 8.6 bar, a pressure reducer must be installed in front of the fi lter system.The On Line Active Direct water fi lter kit is only suitable for domes-tic use. Only water of drinking water quality may be used as intake water for the BRITA water fi lter system.The BRITA water fi lter system is only suitable for cold water use within the supply water temperature stated in chapter 8.No microbiologically impaired water or water of unknown quality may be used without appropriate disinfection. If you have a low pressure boiler, make sure you only connect the On Line A 1000 to the cold water supply with the angle valve, and not to the low pressure boiler.

In the event of offi cial water alert:fi lter fi rst, and then boil

If there are offi cial instructions to boil tap water, the fi lter system must be decommissioned. When the requirement to boil water comes to an end, the fi lter cartridge must be replaced and the con-nections cleaned.

Ultimate hygiene

• For hygiene reasons, the fi lter material of the cartridge is sub-jected to a special bacteriostatic treatment with silver. A minute quantity of silver, harmless to health, may be released into the water, within the guidelines of the World Health Organisation (WHO) for drinking water.• It is generally recommended to boil tap water for certain groups of people (e.g. people with weak immune systems, babies). For such groups, this would also apply to fi ltered water.

Optimum use

• BRITA recommends that the fi lter system not be decommis-sioned for a long period. If the BRITA On Line Active Direct system with Active A1000 fi lter is not used for several days (2–3 days), we recommend that the fi lter system be fl ushed by running the volume X indicated in the table below. After stagna-tion periods of over 4 weeks, the fi lter should be fl ushed by run-ning the volume Y or otherwise consider replacing the cartridge if it is near the end of its recommended life. Please also note the maximum usage period of the fi lter cartridge is 6 months.

Flushing volume X after 2–3 days stagnation Flushing volume

On Line A 1000 1 Litre

Flushing volume Y after 4 weeks stagnation Flushing volume

On Line A 1000 10 Litres

• BRITA fi ltered water is designed for human consumption. Use it within 1–2 days.

• The fi lter system must not be opened or dismantled during operation. The fi lter cartridge must not be opened.

• The fi lter system fi lter head is designed for a service life of 5 years counted from the date of installation.

Natural traces

As the fi lter cartridge contains carbon, derived from natural charcoal, as with such natural matter, there may be variations and this can lead to a slight abrasion of small carbon particles into your fi ltered water, noticeable as black dust. These particles have no negative health effects. If ingested, they will not harm the human body. If you should see any carbon particles in the fi ltered water, BRITA recommends fl ushing out the On Line A 1000 fi lter cartridge by running the fi lter tap until the particle deposits are washed out.
