will need to descale the machine first.
Activating the AquaClean water filter (5 min.)
The machine does not automatically detect that a filter has been placed in the water tank. Therefore you
need to activate each new AquaClean water filter that you install with the AquaClean icon.
When the orange AquaClean light is off, you can still activate an AquaClean water filter, but you will need
to descale the machine first.
Your machine has to be completely limescale-free before you start to use the AquaClean water filter.
Before activating the AquaClean water filter, it has to be prepared by soaking it in water as described below.
If you don't do this, air might be drawn into the machine instead of water, which makes a lot of noise and
prevents the machine from being able to brew coffee.
1 Make sure that the machine is switched on.
2 Shake the filter for about 5 seconds (Fig. 41).
3 Immerse the filter upside down in a jug with cold water and shake/press it (Fig. 42).
4 The filter is now prepared for use and can be inserted into the water tank.
5 Insert the filter vertically onto the filter connection in the water tank. Press it down to the lowest possible
point (Fig. 43).
6 Fill the water tank with fresh water and place it back into the machine.
7 If attached, remove the LatteGo.
8 Place a bowl under the hot water spout/milk frother.
9 Press the AquaClean icon for 3 seconds (Fig. 44). The start light starts to pulse.
10 Press the start/stop
11 Hot water will be dispensed from the hot water spout/milk frother (3 min.).
12 When the activation process is finished, the blue AquaClean light goes on to confirm that the AquaClean
water filter has been activated correctly.
Replacing the AquaClean water filter (5 min.)
After 95 liters of water have flowed through the filter, the filter will cease to work. The AquaClean light
turns orange and starts to flash to remind you to replace the filter. As long as it flashes, you can replace the
filter without having to descale the machine first. If you do not replace the AquaClean water filter, the
orange light will go out eventually. In that case you can still replace the filter but you first need to descale
the machine.
When the orange AquaClean light flashes:
1 Take out the old AquaClean water filter.
2 Install a new filter and activate it as described in chapter 'Activating the AquaClean water filter (5 min.)'.
Replace the AquaClean water filter at least every 3 months, even if the machine does not yet indicate that
replacement is required.
