Filling The Water Container - Capresso 454 Operating Instructions Manual

find a difference in taste in your
coffee when using the water filtra-
tion system. However, most tap
water is treated with chlorine. The
water filter cartridge removes up to
82% of the chlorine found in your
tap water.
Initial Preparation:
• Unscrew the bottom of the
filtration container (K) and place
the cartridge (flat side upwards)
inside. Replace the bottom of
the filtration container.
• Place the filtration container into
the water container.
• Fill two to three cups of water
into the filtration container and
let sit for two to three minutes.
Then turn the machine on and
let the water brew into the
carafe. Discard the water and
turn the machine off. This will
activate the charcoal filter.
• For best results always fill the
water through the filtration con-
tainer.
When to replace the cartridge:
As long as the green Charcoal Filter
Light is on, the CoffeeTEAM S
monitors time and the number of
brewings.
The green charcoal filter light will
start blinking either after 6 weeks
or after the On/Off Button has
been turned on 60 times whichever
comes first, reminding you to
replace the cartridge.
Attention: When you unplug the machine for more than 10 sec-
onds or if you have a power failure, the electronic indicator loses
its memory. Then it is best to replace the filter 6 weeks after first
use.
Caution: Once the cartridge is activated you should never use it
for longer than six weeks. Harmful bacteria build-up may occur.
Unused cartridges can be stored indefinitely.
Replacement cartridges are available through your local
Capresso dealer or by using the enclosed mail order form or
through the website: www.capresso.com.
Replacing the Cartridge / Resetting the Filter Indicator
Remove the filtration container, unscrew the bottom, remove and
discard the used filter. Replace with new filter and activate filter.
While the green light is still blinking, push and hold the Charcoal
Filter Button for a three seconds until the light stops blinking and
is illuminated again. Now the indicator starts counting anew.
