CHARCOAL WATER FILTER

Your coffeemaker comes with a 
charcoal water filter that eliminates 
chlorine, bad tastes and odors from  
tap water.

Inserting the Water Filter

• Remove the filter from polybag and 

soak it, fully immersed, in cold tap 
water for 15 minutes.

• Lift the water filter holder out of the 

water reservoir (see diagram, page 5).

• Press down on the filter compartment 

and pull toward you to open.

• Place filter into the holder and snap  

it closed. Be careful – improper 
placement can tear the filter skin.

• Flush filter by running cold tap water 

through holes in bottom of 
compartment for 10 seconds. 

• Allow the filter to drain completely.
• Slide the water filter holder back into 

the channel in the water reservoir, 
pushing it down to the base of the 
unit.

NOTE: We recommend 
changing the water filter 
every 60 days or after  
60 uses, and more  
often if you have  
hard water. 
Replacement filters 
can be purchased in 
stores, by calling
