CLARIS - AQUA FILTER SYSTEM F 088 CARTRIDGE (SOLD SEPARATELY)
To get the best taste from your coffee and extend your appliance’s service life, we advise you to use
only the Claris - Aqua Filter System cartridge sold as an accessory.
The cartridge comprises a scale-removing substance and activated carbon that reduces chlorine,
impurities, lead, copper, pesticides, etc. that are present in the water. Minerals and trace elements
will then be preserved.
BEFORE FIRST USE
MEASURING WATER HARDNESS
Before using the appliance for the first time or if you have noted a change in water hardness, it is
advisable to adapt the appliance to the observed water hardness. To determine the water hardness,
use the measuring stick delivered with the appliance or get in contact with your water board. The
appliance will ask you for the hardness of your water on first use (see First use / Setting machine
parameters section).
