ENGLISH
1 General Information on the Functioning
The BRITA AquaAroma Crema Water Filter Cartridge reduces the limescale
content in drinking water, in order to protect espresso machines and coffee
machines against scale build up. Calcium, magnesium and metal ions are
selectively removed from the drinking water using the flow method. The filter
material not only reduces cloudiness and organic pollutants, but also the level
of substances that impair the smell and taste, such as chlorine residues in the
filtrate and in the bypass water.
In addition to cloudiness and organic impurities, contents that can impair smell
and taste, such as chlorine residues, are greatly reduced. This dramatically
improves the taste of the coffee. The filter capacity of the AquaAroma Crema
is adjusted to the local carbonate hardness with the Aroma setting. This means
that the aroma and crema of the coffee are optimised.
2 Commissioning and Changing the Interchangeable Filter Cartridge
2.1 Setting the Aroma ring
The aroma ring on the bottom of the AquaAroma Crema adjusts the filter
performance perfectly to the water conditions at the location where the coffee
machine is installed in accordance with the following table.
Aroma setting
level
A
B
C
Note: The factory setting for the Aroma ring is level "B". The water hardness
can be determined by using a test strip or by asking the local water provider.
The specified colour scale can be used to determine the best setting for the
Aroma ring.
• Dip the reaction field of the test strip in a glass of tap water for 1 second.
• After 1 minute compare the colour of the reaction field with the colour scale
and read off the Aroma ring setting.
• Make a note of the correct Aroma ring setting in the aroma stage field (G),
so that you can set the same setting the next time you change the filter
2.2 Commissioning the Water Filter Cartridge
A Turn the Aroma ring on the bottom of the AquaAroma Crema to the left or
right and set the arrow to the required stage. (se Chapter 2.1).
B Press the water filter cartridge under cold water and wet it by moving it
backwards and forwards until all of the air bubbles have escaped.
C Remove the water tank from the coffee machine and insert the water filter
cartridge vertically on the cartridge seat in or on the water tank. Make sure that
the water filter cartridge audibly engages. Note: Only a completely engaged
cartridge provides the full filter capacity.
D Fill the tank with cold drinking water and replace it in the coffee machine.
E The AquaAroma Crema Water Filter Cartridge must be flushed with water
before the first coffee or espresso is made. If the coffee machine does not display
or implement this automatically, rinse the water filter cartridge with half a litre of
tap water. Note: Please consult the coffee machine Operating Instructions.
