“” water fi lter installation
We recommend you to install the “” water fi lter as this prevents
lime scale to build up in your machine and preserves a more intense aroma
to your espresso coff ee.
You can purchase separately the water fi lter. Please refer to the
ordering maintenance products chapter in this user manual for further
details.
Water is a crucial part of every espresso, so it’s most important to always
have it professionally fi ltered. Using the “” water fi lter will prevent
mineral deposits from building up and improve your water quality.
1 Remove the small white fi lter from the water tank and store it in a dry
place.
2 Remove the “” water fi lter from its packaging, immerse it ver-
tically (with the opening positioned upwards) in cold water and gently
press the sides so as to let the air bubbles out.
3
Set the fi lter according to the measurements performed (see previous
chapter) and indicated on the base of the fi lter:
A = Soft water – equals 1 or 2 on the test strip
B = Hard water (standard) – equals 3 on the test strip
C = Very hard water – equals 4 on the test strip
4 Put the fi lter into the empty water tank. Press it until it cannot move
further down.
