1. Keep the “Aqua prima” filter cool and away from sunlight; the room temperature should
be between 41°F/+5°C and 104°F/+40°C;
2. Do not use the filter in temperatures over 140°F/60°C.
3. If the coffee machine is not used for 3 days, we recommend washing the “Aqua prima”
filter;
4 If the coffee machine is not used for more than 20 days, it is advisable to replace the
filter.
