Installing the water filter
We advise you to install the water filter as this prevents scale build-up in
your machine. You can buy the water filter separately. For more details,
see chapter ‘Guarantee and support’, section ‘Ordering maintenance products’.
1 Remove the small white filter from the water tank and store it in a dry place .
Note: Please keep the small white filter for future use. You will need it for the
descaling process.
2 Remove the filter from its packaging and immerse it in cold water with the
opening pointing upwards. Press the sides of the filter gently to let out the air
bubbles.
3 Turn the knob of the filter to the setting that corresponds to the water hardness
of the area you live in.
A Soft water
B Hard water (default)
C Very hard water
Note: You can test the water hardness with a water hardness test strip.
9 Fill the water tank with fresh water up to the MAX indication.
-
The machine is ready for use.
Note: The first cups of coffee may be a bit watery, this is normal. The machine
needs to complete a few brewing cycles to optimise its settings.
