Filter-Softener Replacement - Faema CARISMA S-1 Use And Installation

11. Filter-softener replacement

Autonomy means the time that the filter is effectively
working.
Autonomy depends on the local water hardness and machine
use. The table, opposite, indicates the total values expressed
in liters.
Replacing the filter-softener at the scheduled time
is fundamental for the quality of the beverages.
Moreover, failure
jeopardizes the correct functioning of the machine.
Replace the filter at least once every 18 months.
Follow these steps to replace the water filter-softener:
1
Remove the panel and lid to the water tank.
3
Place the new filter in the housing inside the tank.
5
After the softening filter has been replaced, repeatedly dispense
hot water until at least ½ liter has been dispensed (please consult
the "hot water dispensing" paragraph for instructions).
NOTE: Water naturally contains different concentrations of mineral salts that determine its hardness and, over time, create
limescale deposits.
To keep the machine working perfectly and to prolong the duration of the softening filter, we recommend using water with a
hardness that does not exceed 8°F (4.5°D).
