STEP FOUR
Set replacement reminder
If your Brita has an electronic filter indicator, press and hold the RESET button for 2 seconds to activate it. If it comes with a sticker indicator, adjust the date so you’ll know when it’s time for a new filter (every 2 months for a Standard Filter).

STEP FIVE
Fill it up
Open the flip lid and fill the reservoir with cold tap water*. Discard the first dispenser of water, or use to water plants. Please note that the system indicator will only count a reservoir fill if the lid is open for at least 15 seconds.
*Hot water shouldn’t be used with the Brita® Refillable Filter (Max. 85°F/29°C – Min. 32°F/0°C).
