First installation
For first installation, follow the instructions on the separate quick start guide.
Note: This machine has been tested with coffee. Although it has been
carefully cleaned, there may be some coffee residues left. We guarantee,
however, that the machine is absolutely new.
Note: You can install the AquaClean filter during the first installation
procedure (see separate quick start guide). If you skip installation of the
AquaClean filter at first use, you can install it later by entering the menu (see
'Activating the AquaClean filter').

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 in this
user manual, you don't have to descale your machine for up to 5000 cups.
Note: Your machine has to be completely limescale-free before you start to
use the AquaClean filter. If you did not activate the filter during first
installation, you need to descale the machine before you activate the filter.
Activating the AquaClean filter
Note: Always confirm activation of the AquaClean filter in the machine menu
as described below. You also need to do this after replacing the AquaClean
filter. By activating the AquaClean filter in the machine menu, the machine
monitors the number of filters used. When the filter has been replaced 8
times, the machine reminds you to descale it.
1 For instructions on how to place the AquaClean filter in the water tank,
see the separate quick start guide.
Note: Shake the AquaClean filter for about 5 seconds, immerse it upside
down in a jug with cold water and wait until no more air bubbles come
out.

Replacing the AquaClean filter
Note: Replace the AquaClean filter as soon as the capacity has dropped to
0% and the filter icon flashes quickly. Replace the AquaClean filter at least
every 3 months, even if the machine has not yet indicated that replacement
is required.
Tip: We advise you to buy a new filter when the capacity has dropped to
10% and the filter icon starts flashing slowly. This ensures that you can
replace the filter when the capacity has dropped to 0%.
