Replacing the AquaClean water filter (5 min.)
After 95 liters of water have flowed through the filter, the filter will cease to work. The AquaClean
status indicator drops to 0% to remind you to replace the filter. As long as the AquaClean status
indicator is shown on the display, you can replace the filter without having to descale the machine
first. If you do not replace the AquaClean water filter in time, the AquaClean indicator goes out
after some time. In that case you can still replace the filter but you first need to descale the
machine.
When the AquaClean status indicator drops to 0% or when the machine reminds you to replace
the AquaClean filter:
1 take out the old AquaClean water filter.
2 install a new filter and activate it as described in chapter 'Activating the AquaClean water filter
(5 min.)'.
Replace the AquaClean water filter at least every 3 months, even if the machine does not yet
indicate that replacement is required.
