2 Operating and Safety Instructions
Read, understand, and follow all safety information contained in these instructions prior to installation
and use of any PROGUARD Coffee component.
General
Warning
!
• To reduce the risk associated with the ingestion of contaminants:
• Water used as intake water for PROGUARD Coffee must be of drinking water quality
• In the case of an official order, for instance from local authorities, to boil tap water,
BRITA-filtered water must be boiled as well. When the requirement to boil water comes to an
end, all filter cartridges must be replaced and the PROGUARD Coffee system including all
connections and hoses be cleaned thoroughly.
• It is generally recommended to boil tap water for certain groups of people (e.g. people with
weakened immune systems, babies). This also applies to filtered water.
• Installation and maintenance of PROGUARD Coffee, its refill components and its spare part
MUST be carried out by specialist staff with an understanding of local and regional regulations/
codes that may affect the installation requirements.
• To reduce the risk of physical injury: Depressurise PROGUARD Coffee as well as the PURITY
C filter cartridges when maintaining or disassembling the unit as described in chapter 5:
Installation and chapter 8: Disassembly.
Caution
!
To reduce the risk associated with property damage including but not limited to water leakage:
• Read and follow this Installation and Operating Manual before installation and use of this system.
• Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local laws and regulations including
plumbing regulations/codes.
• All parts must be installed in accordance with the country-specific guidelines on the installation of
drinking water facilities. A backflow must be prevented according to EN 1717 at least by backflow
preventer Type EA.
• The appliance is intended to be permanently connected to the mains water supply.
• Take care when using pliers or pipe wrenches to tighten plastic fittings, as damage may occur if
overtightening occurs.
• Ensure all tubing and fittings are secure and free of leaks.
• The disposable PURITY C filter cartridges MUST be replaced every 12 months or at the rated
capacity, whatever comes first, see chapter 5.1: App (BRITA Professional Filter Service). The
filtrate should be tested periodically to verify that the system is working properly (see chapter
6: Maintenance).
• PROGUARD Coffee contains replaceable components that are critical to the efficiency of the system.
Replacement of the reverse osmosis components MUST be done with the original BRITA
refill components or spare parts defined by the manufacturer, to assure the same efficiency and
contaminant reduction performance.
• The flawless function of the non-electric pump (built-in) is critical for the desired water quality.
Unless the water tank is already fully filled with filtrate (no more required), a regular and audible
click sound indicates its proper functioning.
• Regularly clean the outside of the RO system with a soft, damp cloth. Caution: Do not use any
abrasive chemicals, cleaning solutions or astringent cleaning agents.
