Checking/replacing the
water filter cartridge
There is always a small quantity of lime in your home’s tap
water. For this reason we have installed a water filter car-
tridge which is designed to remove the lime particles before
the water runs through the appliance.
Check the water filter cartridge (Fig. 23) every time you
fill the water tank,
Z
Chapter 3.1, “Filling the water tank”
.
When first supplied, the filter medium on the inside of
the cartridge is a very light colour (Fig. 23/A). If when you
check it you discover that the filter medium on the inside of
the cartridge has significantly changed colour (Fig. 23/B)
compared to its supply state or less steam is emitted, re-
place the cartridge as follows:
1.
Switch off the device, put it into the neutral position and
pull the plug from the socket,

device into the neutral position”
.
2.
Remove the water tank,

Chapter 3.1, “Filling the water
tank”
.
3.
Check the colour of the cartridge. If the inside of the car-
tridge has changed colour considerably compared to
the supply state (Fig. 23/B), the cartridge has to be re-
placed.
4.
If the water filter cartridge has to be replaced, pull it up
and out of the console powerfully (Fig. 24).
5.
Then replace the water filter cartridge with a new one
(order no.:
Z
Chapter 7.2, “Accessories and spare
parts”
).
6.
Push the new cartridge powerfully back into the console
(Fig. 25).
7.
Put the water tank back on,

Chapter 3.1, “Filling the
water tank”
).
8.
Make sure that both the elements are securely fastened
to each other.
NOTE:
You can dispose of the worn-out water filter cartridge
with your household waste.
