Filling the jug Set the lid onto the jug, open the cap of the filling aperture and pour in cold drinking water with a temperature between 4 and 30 °C, until the water level is just below the top rim of the reservoir.

If the jug is not in use for more than 2 weeks, exchange the cartridge for a new one.
