Introduction
The AquaClean filter provides filtered water to
protect your coffee machine and to ensure an
intense taste and aroma of your coffee.
Important
Read this important information carefully before
you use the AquaClean filter and save it for future
reference.
Warning
-
The AquaClean filter is only designed for use
with direct safe drinking water (which is
constantly controlled and safe to drink
according to legal regulations) and with water
from private supplies which has been approved
as safe to drink. If an instruction is received from
the authorities that municipal water must be
boiled, the filtered water must also be boiled.
When the instruction to boil water is no longer
in force, the entire coffee machine must be
cleaned and a new cartridge inserted.
-
Clean the water tank regularly.
-
For certain groups of people (e.g. people with
weakened immune systems and babies) it is
generally recommended to boil tap water. This
also applies to filtered water.
-
For hygienic reasons, the material of the
AquaClean filter is subjected to a special
treatment with silver. A small quantity of silver,
which is harmless to health, may end up in the
filtered water. This is in compliance with the
World Health Organisation (WHO)
recommendations for drinking water.
-
If you suffer from kidney disease, are a dialysis
patient and/or follow a sodium-restricted diet,
please note that during the filtration process,
the sodium content may be increased slightly.
We advise you to consult your doctor first
before using the filtered water.
-
When you descale the coffee machine, always
remove the AquaClean filter from the water
tank. Then thoroughly clean the whole water
tank and replace the AquaClean filter.
-
Philips does not accept any responsibility or
liability if the above recommendations for using
and replacing the AquaClean filter are not
followed.
Caution
-
Store replacement AquaClean filter in a cool
and dry place in their original, sealed packaging.
-
As water is a foodstuff, the water in the water
tank must be used up within 1 to 2 days.
-
If you have not used your coffee machine for a
prolonged period (e.g. a holiday, a period over 3
months from installation, or when a new filter is
required), perform the procedure described in
chapter 'Preparing for use'.
Preparing for use
1
Remove the AquaClean filter from its packaging.
Shake the filter for about 5 seconds (Fig. 1).
2 Immerse the filter upside down in a jug with
cold water and wait until no more air bubbles
come out (Fig. 2).
3 Remove the water tank from the machine and
insert the filter vertically onto the filter
connection (Fig. 3). Press it down until it cannot
move further.
4 Fill the water tank with fresh clean water and
place it back into the machine (Fig. 4).
5 If the machine has a display make sure you
activate the filter in the machine menu. Follow
the user instructions provided with the machine
(Fig. 5).
Note: The claim 'Up to 5000 cups without
descaling*' is valid only for machines having the
AquaClean sticker on the water tank.* Actual
number of cups depends on selected coffee
varieties, rinsing and cleaning patterns. Based
on 8 filters replacement as indicated by the
machines.
6 To rinse the filter, let half a litre of water flow
out from the dispensing spout or steam tube of
espresso machine. Discard this water (Fig. 6).
Note: If you have not used your coffee machine for
a short period (e.g. 2 weeks), perform steps 1 to 4
with the installed AquaClean filter. Then dispense a
cup of hot water (0.250 l).
The filter and machine are now ready for use.
