Hand-wash* the dispenser, lid and reservoir with mild dish soap and rinse well.

With clean hands, rinse the filter with cold water for 15 seconds.

With clean hands, line up the filter’s groove with the notch in the reservoir and press the filter firmly into place.

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).

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.
