Using and Replacing the Fresh

Water Filter

(depending on the model)
After around 60 brews (or 6 weeks,
whichever occurs first), the fresh water
filter must be replaced as follows to
ensure that the filter retains its effec-
tiveness:
1. Open the lid of the fresh water
filter compartment (Figure 9).
2. Remove the container by the handle
(Figure 10).
3. Turn the cap on the bottom of the
container to the left and remove
(Figure 11).
4. Remove the old filter from the cap.
Remove the new filter from its plastic
bag, hold under running water and
then place in position (Figure 12). The
old filter can be treated as general
household rubbish without cause for
concern, the filter is manufactured on
a vegetable base.
5. Place the cap on the container such
that the marker arrows on the cap and
the container are aligned (Figure 11).
Tighten the cap and insert the con-
tainer such that the hooks on the con-
tainer and hooks on the coffee
machine mesh together, and the con-
tainer is firmly seated (arrows in
Figure 10).
6. Close the lid on the fresh water filter
compartment again.
Attach the appropriate section of the
3
date sticker supplied to the inside of
the fresh water container lid. You will
always know when the fresh water fil-
ter next needs to be replaced.
Independent of the frequency of use, it
1
is imperative that the fresh water filter
be replaced at the latest every six
months, this is necessary to avoid the
build up of bacteria in the filter.

Descaling – To Make Your Coffee
Machine Last Longer
The life of your coffee machine is
extended by regular descaling. We rec-
ommend descaling every three months
as a preventative measure.
If you use a permanent filter, this must
1
be removed from the swivel filter prior
to descaling.
The fresh water filter must not be fit-
1
ted to the coffee machine during des-
caling. Therefore remove the fresh
water filter container each time prior
to descaling (see Figure 10).
A liquid, environmentally acceptable,
descaler should be used for descaling,
these are generally available in the
shops. Only use the descaler in accor-
dance with the manufacturer's instruc-
tions. Do not use any descaler based on
concentrated formic acid. Fill the fresh
water container and only then add the
descaler – not the other way round!
Swivel the filter into the appliance.
Place the coffee jug with lid on the
hotplate. (Please note that the lid of
the coffee jug is used to open the filter
valve and must therefore be fitted for
the water to flow correctly.) Leave the
descaling solution to act for approx.
15 minutes, then switch on the appli-
ance. Once the descaling solution has
run through, switch off the appliance.
If necessary, repeat the descaling pro-
cess. Then repeat with plain water at
least twice. Thoroughly rinse the coffee
jug, lid and swivel filter under running
water. Operate the filter valve several
times whilst rinsing.
