4.9. AquaClean water filter
The AquaClean filter is designed to reduce limescale deposits in the coffee machine and provide filtered water
to preserve the aroma and flavor of each cup of coffee. By using a series of 8 AquaClean filters, there is no need to
descale the machine for 5000 cups (It depends both on the type of coffee used, rinsing and cleaning programs).
We recommend installing the water filter AquaClean the first use of the machine
to the maximum before using 5 L of water. The machine display will indicate when
the filter needs to be replaced. The maximum limit is equivalent to 110 L of water.
The conditions related to the filter work environment (water, therefore, an active environment for bacteria
and microorganisms), require the replacement with a minimum frequency (we suggest 3 months from the
activation to ensure the best performance). The filter starts’ working from the time is filled with water and
continues working even with the machine off. It cannot be deactivated manually, as it must end its life cycle.
At the filter activation the display shows the icon with the percentage of use:
- Initially 100% then decreasing.
When the autonomy of the current filter becomes less than 8 L of water the display shows:
- The icon flashing slowly. It means 10%.
When the autonomy of the current filter becomes less than 2 L of water the display shows
- The icon flashing quickly. It means 0%.
After a maximum of 110 L of water supplied the flashing light turn off and the machine
needs to be descaled.
