correctly.

How to get the Katadyn Bottle ready for first time use".
Disposal:
The components of the Katadyn Bottle can be disposed together with the
normal domestic waste.
Caution:
The Virustat¨ cartridge contains iodine resin. Persons with iodine
allergies, thyroid problems and pregnant women should consult their doctor
before using the bottle. The Post Filter absorbs iodine, but traces of
iodine may be left in the water. Note: iodine is a natural substance and
important for the body in normal doses. This is why it is added to table
salt in most countries.
Active ingredients:
46% iodine. Even a water filter needs a little care and attention. If the
bottle is not used for three days or more, it must be cleaned and stored at
a dry place. If the bottle is not used for longer periods, allow the bottle
to air-dry out completely. Depending on temperature and air humidity, drying
may last between a few days and two
weeks. Drying prevents the filter from accumulating germs and forming
pathogens.
Storage:
Dismantle the filter stages. Pour out the water. Store the filter stages in
a dry and well ventilated place. The bottle (without filters) and the lid
(mouthpiece in the open position) can be cleaned in the dishwasher. Dry the
bottle and store it (with lid removed) next to the filter elements. It is
best to store the components in an open carton box to make sure that the
parts including the instructions stay together.
