Water system

14 Water system

Water system
Your appliance is equipped with water-carrying compo­nents. The water system only works if a water filter or a bypass cap is installed.
Changing the water filter or replacing it with a bypass cap
1. Reach into the recess below the filter cover, pull it for-
wards slightly and move it to the bottom left ⁠.
2. Turn the water filter counterclockwise by 90° and re-
move it ⁠.

14.1 Water filter

The water filter filters particles and the taste of chlorine out of the water. The water filter reduces further contamination, e. g. from chloramines, lead and pharmaceutical products.
Note:The water filter does not filter bacteria or microbes out of the water.
Change the water filter:
¡ every 6months. ¡ if lights up. ¡ if the water output has visibly reduced.
Tips
¡ A new water filter can be purchased from customer ser-
vice, your dealer or our website.
¡ If you do not want to use a water filter in your appliance
or an external water filter system is installed, you can permanently replace the water filter with a bypass cap. The bypass cap filters only large particles out of the wa­ter and can be cleaned as required. A bypass cap can be purchased from customer service or our website.
Note:When removing it, a small amount of water may drip out of the water filter. Remove the drips of water with a dry cloth.
Tip:You can dispose of the old water filter with your household garbage.
3. Insert the new water filter or the bypass cap in the filter
opening as far as it will go and turn it 90° clockwise to the stop.
