Important: Before you can use a

rinsed.
■ Use the measuring spoon 8 to press the

system 4b and the suction pipe 4d.

the drip plate 17b.

Water filter.
■ Touch B and use I to select
Activate new filter.
■ Empty the drip tray and re-insert.
■ Touch B to confirm.
Water will now flow through the filter to
rinse it.
■ Then empty the drip tray and re-insert.
The appliance is ready for use again.
Rinsing the filter simultaneously activates
the setting for displaying the message
"Please change water filter".
When this message appears, or at the
latest after two months, the filter will no
longer be effective. It needs to be replaced
for reasons of hygiene and to prevent a
build-up of limescale (which could damage
the appliance).
If you do not intend to insert a new filter,
select the setting No filter and touch B
to confirm.
