23. CLEARYL WATER FILTER CARTRIDGE
The machine comes with one Clearyl Water Filter Cartridge. The
Clearyl cartridge
• Reduces the water hardness up to 75%.
• Removes (if present) up to 85% chlorine, up to 90% lead, up
to 95% copper and up to 67% aluminum.
• Cleans the water through an upward current principle (Fig. 9)
just before the brewing cycle starts, ensuring freshly filtered
water every time you make coffee.
• Eliminates decalcifying except when using very hard water
(25 grains or higher), see chapter 24. In this case we recom-
mended to decalcify the Z5 once or twice a year.
• To reorder cartridges, see chapter 34.
23a. INSTALLING & ACTIVATING THE CLEARYL WATER
CARTRIDGE
Installing:
Important:
Never install the cartridge before or during
"Preparing Machine For The First Time" (chapter 6).
• Remove cartridge from its bag and rinse cartridge under water.
• Add the extension rod to the cartridge (Fig.8).
• Remove the water tank, make sure it is empty.
• Pull up the cartridge holder and insert the cartridge with its
tapered end down (Fig. 10). Make sure it fits securely over the
white mesh piece inside the water container. Push down
gently (Fig. 11).
• Close the cartridge holder. Make sure the holder snaps into
place.
• Fill the water tank with fresh cold water and replace.
Activating:
You must activate the cartridge otherwise the Z5 cannot monitor
it properly and assumes that the machine is still in decalcifying
mode.
COFFEE READY

FILTER NO
• Push the Rotary Dial again, to enter the FILTER program.

For the next 90 seconds the Z5 will push
water through the cartridge and out through the milk nozzle.
Initially, the water may have a slight discoloration. The program
will stop automatically. The display shows
UNIT IS HEATING
and then
COFFEE READY
.
Please note: If your container is not large enough, you can
interrupt the activation cycle by simply pressing any beverage
button. The display shows
PRESS BUTTON
and the Rinse
Button is still illuminated. Replace the empty container and
continue the filter activation by pressing the Rinse Button.
Please note: As long as the filter is activated, the water
hardness setting is automatically turned off.
IMPORTANT: Do not let the filter dry out.
If you do not use your IMPRESSA for more than three days in a
row and you still have an active filter, we recommend the follow-
ing easy procedure: Empty the water tank, remove the filter and
20.
