3.2 Water tank softener handling
A water softener (filter) can be installed inside the water tank to reduce the build-up of limescale in your coffee
machine. (Advised model: Claris CS-150 filter / softener). The table below shows its capacity at various water
hardness levels. Check the website of your water supply company for water hardness values.
Take the water tank out of the
machine.
Install the softener inside the
water tank on top of the outlet by
turning it clockwise.
Fill up with fresh drinking water.
Ensure that the water tank is
correctly aligned. [front] towards
you. Install the lid, and close the
cover.
Place a cup under the hot water
outlet, and press the hot water
button.
CAUTION
Hot water will flow from
the outlet.
Repeat this 5 times.
(Empty the cup when a cycle is
completed.)
Should the display show a water
supply issue:
•
Press OK.
•
Dispense another 5 cups of hot
water to ensure that all air has
dissipated from the softener.
Open the programming mode and
enter descaling parameters (see
page 16).
Water tank softener capacity
Exchange the softener (filter) inside the water tank after 2 months, or before that time based on the number
of consumptions. Please refer to the data below to determine the exchange rate.

valve is fitted on every machine to connect it to the mains water supply.
