Dear Coffee Connoisseur,
when you are preparing a flavoursome coffee
drink, the water you use plays an important
role. After all, it accounts for about 98% of a
cup of coffee.
That is why we recommend you use the BRITA
INTENZA water filter cartridge, which is
designed specially for use with your appliance.
It allows the flavour to develop optimally and
also gives your appliance maximum protection
from limescale.
INTENZA
As the calcium content of water has a
significant influence on the aroma and the
‚crema‘ of your coffee, the BRITA INTENZA
water filter cartridge has an aroma ring on the
underside. By turning this ring you can set the
optimal aroma level (A, B or C) for your tap
water.
Please use the enclosed test strip to ascertain
the optimal setting of the aroma ring.
1 Dip the test strip in the tap water for
10 seconds then wait for about 1 minute
before checking the result.
2 Now compare the water hardness levels:
□
Levels 1 and 2 – ring setting A
□
Level 3 – ring setting B
□
Level 4 – ring setting C
3 Record the test results for future filter
changes by ticking the appropriate box.
The BRITA INTENZA water filter cartridge is
easy to use. Just proceed as follows:
Turn the aroma ring on
the underside of the water
filter cartridge to the
correct level.
Hold the water filter
cartridge under cold
water and gently agitate
it to remove all the air
bubbles.
Then place the filter
cartridge firmly in the
water tank by hand (or
using the measuring
spoon if you have it
nearby).
Now remove the water
tank and fill it with cold
water up to the “max”
mark.
