Dear Coee Connoisseur,
when you are preparing a delicious coee
drink, the water you use plays an important role.
After all, water accounts for about 98% of a cup
of coee.
That is why we recommend you use the
®
MAVEA
INTENZA water lter cartridge,
which is designed specially for use with your
appliance. It optimizes your hot beverages and
gives your appliance maximum protection from
limescale.

Using the MAVEA® INTENZA water lter
cartridge not only reduces the carbonate
hardness content of your tap water, but also
lters substances that can aect the aroma and
taste of your coee, such as chlorine.
As the carbonate hardness content of water has
a signicant inuence on the aroma and taste of
your coee, the MAVEA
®
INTENZA water lter
cartridge has an aroma ring on the underside.
By turning this ring, you can set the optimal
aroma level (A, B or C) for your tap water.
Please use the enclosed test strip to ascertain
the optimal setting of the aroma ring for your
appliance.
1 Dip the test strip in the tap water for
10 seconds, then wait for about 1 minute
before checking the results.
2 Now compare the water hardness levels:
□ Levels 1 and 2 – ring setting A
□ Level 3 – ring setting B
□ Level 4 – ring setting C
3 Record the test results for future lter
changes by ticking the appropriate box.
The MAVEA
is easy to use. Just proceed as follows:

Turn the aroma ring on
the underside of the water
lter cartridge to the
correct level.
Immerse the water lter
cartridge upside down
in cold water and press
it gently on the sides to
remove any air bubbles.
Then place the lter
cartridge rmly in the
water tank by hand
(or using the measuring
spoon if you have it
nearby).
Now remove the water
tank and ll it with cold
water up to the ”max“
mark.

Important notes

stored in a cool, dry place in their original sealed
packaging.
● The MAVEA
only with microbiologically and chemically safe
drinking water (municipally treated tap water or
water from sources which have been approved
as safe to drink).Th is drinking water is constantly
checked and meets the legal requirements
governing drinking water quality. If users are advised
by the ocial authorities to boil their tap water,
MAVEA® ltered water should also be boiled. When
the ”boil water” notice has been lifted, the fully
automatic espresso machine should be cleaned
completely and a new lter cartridge inserted.
● Filter cold water only.
● Clean the water tank regularly.
● Remember that it is generally advisable to boil tap
water for certain groups of people (e.g. those with
weak immune systems). This also applies to ltered
water.
● Note for dialysis patients or those with kidney
disease: during the lter process, there may be a
slight increase in potassium content. If you have
kidney disease and/or have to keep to a special
potassium diet, we recommend you consult your
doctor rst.
● If your fully automatic espresso machine has not
been used for a prolonged period (for example if you
have been on holiday), we advise you to pour out
any unltered water that is still present and to leave
the lter cartridge in the water tank. Before you use
the fully automatic espresso machine again, remove
the water lter cartridge from the water tank, clean it
and repeat the steps for rinsing the lter cartridge as
described in the instructions.
● Water should be regarded as another food product.
Please use up water in the tank within 1 day.
