Activating The Aquaclean Filter; Measuring Water Hardness; Brewing Drinks - Philips Saeco Xelsis SM7686 Mode D'emploi

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 using the AquaClean filter at any time by following the instructions below.
1 Tap the Settings
2 Select 'new' and when the activation screen appears, press the start/stop
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.
