8.10 Using a water filter
The use of a water filter extends the service
life of your appliance. The water filter filters
calcium and other pollutants out of the tap
water.
If you use a water filter and change it on a
regular basis, you will need to descale the
appliance only once per year. This informa-
tion is based on an average of six 120 ml
coffee beverages per day and six filter
changes per year.
Only use Melitta® Pro Aqua filter cartridges
for automatic coffeemakers. Observe the
instructions on the packaging of the filter
cartridge.
Use the screwing aid to screw the water
filter into and out of the water tank.
Inserting the water filter
Change the water filter when the appliance
asks you to do so. Use the coffee grounds
container as a collecting container.
ƒ Place the new water filter in a vessel
filled with fresh tap water for a few
minutes.
ƒ Navigate to the Care > Filter > Insert filter
menu.
Changing the water filter
Use the coffee grounds container as a
collecting container.
ƒ
Navigate to the Care > Filter > Change fil-
ter menu.
Removing the water filter
ƒ Navigate to the Care > Filter > Remove
filter menu.
ƒ Then adjust the water hardness (see
section 8.9, page 26).
9 Venting
During venting, residual water is removed
from the appliance. You should dry out the
appliance whenever you do not use it for
longer periods, if you want to transport it
or if there is a risk of frost.
If the water filter is inserted, you will need
to remove it from the water tank before-
hand.
ƒ Place a vessel beneath the outlet.
ƒ Navigate to the System > Venting menu.
After venting, the appliance will switch off.
Keep the water filter in a vessel containing
tap water in the refrigerator so that it does
not stand dry over a longer period.
10 Transport
Transport the appliance in the original
packaging if possible.
You may not fasten loose parts with
adhesive tape or parcel tape because the
adhesive residue is difficult to remove.
When sending the appliance to Melitta's
service centres, it is not necessary to send
in the cup plate. This prevents scratches
during transport.
