AquaClean filter
The AquaClean filter is designed to reduce limescale deposits in your coffee machine and provide
filtered water to preserve the aroma and flavor of each cup of coffee. If you use a series of 8
AquaClean filters as indicated by the machine and in this user manual, you don't have to descale your
machine for up to 5000 cups. With each filter you can enjoy up to 625 cups, depending on the
selected coffee varieties and the rinsing and cleaning frequencies.
Preparing the AquaClean filter for activation
Before you place the AquaClean filter in the water tank, you need to prepare it for use:
1 Shake the filter for about 5 seconds (Fig. 1).
2 Fully immerse the filter upside down in a jug with cold water for at least 30 seconds. Wait until no
more air bubbles come out (Fig. 2).
3 Push the filter onto the filter connection to the lowest possible point. (Fig. 3)

Activating the AquaClean filter

You need to activate every new AquaClean filter that you use. By activating the AquaClean filter, the
machine monitors the capacity of the AquaClean filter and the number of filters used. There are 3
ways to activate the AquaClean filter.
1. Activating the AquaClean filter during first installation
After switching on for the first time, the machine guides you through the first installation steps such as
filling the water tank, filling the water circuit and activating the AquaClean filter. Simply follow the
instructions on the screen.
2. Activating the AquaClean filter when prompted
Replace the AquaClean filter when the screen shows the message 'Replace AquaClean filter?'. Then
follow the instructions on the screen to activate the filter properly.
Replace the AquaClean filter at least every 3 months, even if the machine has not yet indicated that
replacement is required.
3. Activating the AquaClean filter at any other time
You can start (re)using the AquaClean filter at any time by following the instructions below.
1 Tap the Settings
2 Tap the OK icon. When the activation screen appears, tap the OK icon again.
3 Follow the instructions on the screen.
Note: In some situations the machine will tell you that you need to descale the machine before you
can install and activate a new AquaClean filter. This is because your machine has to be completely
limescale-free before you start to use the AquaClean filter. Follow the instructions on the screen.

Measuring water hardness

During first installation, you have to set the water hardness. Follow the steps on the screen and use
the water hardness test strip supplied. To set the water hardness later, tap the Settings
