- Insert the filter into the reservoir by lining up the groove in filter with the ridge in the pitcher’s reservoir. Press firmly to ensure a tight seal.
- Add cold tap water. Discard your first three containers worth of filtered water. (Or, use it to water plants!) It’s normal for carbon dust to appear in your first few fillings.
- Replace filter as recommended to maintain optimal performance.
Brita® pitchers are easy to maintain. Hand-wash the pitcher/dispenser, lid and reservoir periodically with a mild detergent—never with abrasive cleaners—and rinse well. Always remember to remove and set aside filters before washing.
When reassembling your pitcher after cleaning, be sure to correctly reinstall your reservoir and lid. The reservoir has a vent hole in the area that holds the filter. Make sure the vent is facing the back of the pitcher. For lids, the Fill Lid feature should be positioned toward the back.
