With just a few simple steps, you’ll be enjoying cleaner, fresher and better-tasting water in no time. So, let’s get started!

Setting up the Philips Instant Water Filter is pretty straightforward. We've laid out the steps below, and there's a video too, so you can choose how you want to follow along. The main thing is getting it installed correctly so it works brilliantly from day one.

Check out the quick start video guide. It shows you exactly how to get your Philips AWP2980WH up and running fast, plus some tips for keeping it in top shape.

If you like things written down, here’s how to do it step-by-step:

1. Unpack the Box: Get everything out of the packaging for your water filter. Just double-check all the parts and components are there.

2. Rinse the Filter: Grab the new filter cartridge and give it a good rinse under the tap for about 30 seconds. This gets rid of any loose carbon dust and preps it for filtering.

3. Put it Together: Slot the filter cartridge into the water container as shown in the instructions or the video. Make sure it clicks in nice and secure.

4. Fill It Up: Pour regular tap water into the top section. Let it run through the filter. Soon you'll have fresh, filtered water ready to go.

To make sure your Philips filter keeps giving you the best water, you need to know when to change the filter cartridge. The indicator light helps with this.

Indicator Light:

• Solid Purple Light: Means the filter's done its job (filtered about 100 litres or it's been 30 days). Time for a fresh one!

• Flashing Purple Light: Gives you a heads-up – you've got less than 3 days or 6 litres of filtering left. Get ready to replace it.

How to Reset the Light After Changing the Filter:

• Once the new filter is in, just press and hold the dispense button for about 8 seconds.

• You'll see the light flash blue three times – that means it's reset and ready to track the new filter's life.

• This keeps everything accurate so you always know your filter is working properly.

What If You Don't Use It For a Bit?

• Short Break (Less than 5 days): If you haven't used it for a few days, just pour out the first 3 litres before you start drinking from it again. This flushes out any stale water.

• Long Break (More than 15 days): Been away for a while? For safety and best results, you'll need to put in a new filter cartridge when you start using it again.

• Storing It: If you need to put the unit away, take the filter cartridge out. Put the filter in a sealed plastic bag and store it in the fridge (never the freezer!). Make sure the main unit is completely dry before storing it to stop any mould growing.

Paying attention to the indicator and changing the filter on time is the key to getting consistently great water from your Philips Next Generation Instant Water Filter.

To get the most out of your water filter, keep these in mind:

• Always use genuine Philips replacement filters – they're made specifically for the unit.

• Give the outside of the unit a wipe down with a damp cloth now and then to keep it looking clean.

• Try to keep it out of direct sunlight or really hot places.

• It's designed for tap water only – don't try filtering other liquids.

Look after your filter system, and it'll keep delivering fresh-tasting water for you and your loved ones.
