Information
If the descaling programme has been
interrupted, e.g. by unintentionally switch-
ing the appliance off, you must switch
the appliance on again and follow the
instructions from step 11. The appliance is
then ready for operation, even if it has not
been completely descaled. For complete
descaling, you must run the descaling
programme from the beginning.
7.6 Using a water filter
The use of a water filter extends the ser-
vice life of the appliance and the appliance
has to be descaled less frequently. The
water filter filters calcium and other pollut-
ants out of the water.
Only use Melitta® Pro Aqua filter cartridges
for fully automatic coffee machines.
Observe the processing instructions on
the packaging of the water filter.
Information
When using and regularly replacing the
Melitta® Pro Aqua filter cartridge, the
appliance only needs to be descaled once
a year.
This information is based on an average
of 6 coffee beverages with 120 ml per
day and 6 filter changes per year.
