AquaClean filter status indication
When the AquaClean is active, the status of the AquaClean filter is always visible
on the screen as a percentage.
- If the status of the AquaClean filter is 10% or less, the screen shows a
-
message for 2 seconds each time you switch on the machine. This message
advises you to buy a new filter.
- If the status of the filter is 0%, the machine asks you to replace the AquaClean -
filter every time you switch on the machine.
Activating the AquaClean water filter (5 min.)
The machine does not automatically detect that a filter has been placed in the
water tank. Therefore you need to activate each new AquaClean water filter that
you install in the 'Clean' menu.
When the machine stops showing the filter activation message, you can still
activate an AquaClean water filter, but you will need to descale the machine first.
Your machine has to be completely limescale-free before you start using the
AquaClean water filter.
Before activating the AquaClean water filter, it has to be prepared by soaking it
in water as described below. If you don't do this, air might be drawn into the
machine instead of water, which makes a lot of noise and prevents the machine
from being able to brew coffee.

Replacing the AquaClean water filter (5 min.)
After 95 liters of water have flowed through the filter, the filter will cease to
work. The AquaClean status indicator drops to 0% to remind you to replace the
filter. As long as the AquaClean status indicator is shown on the display, you
can replace the filter without having to descale the machine first. If you do not
replace the AquaClean water filter in time, the AquaClean indicator goes out
after some time. In that case you can still replace the filter but you first need to
descale the machine.
