6 Inserting the Melitta
®
Claris
®
water lter
A Melitta
®
Claris
®
water lter is supplied with the appliance for ltering out lime scale
and other contaminants. Please only insert it after starting up the appliance for
the rst time. When using the lter, the appliance does not require descaling as
often, and the water hardness can be set to 1 (you can nd more information on
page 57). The service life of your appliance will be extended thanks to the reliable
protection from lime scale. The water lter should be changed regularly; however,
after two months at the latest.
• Set the current month on the blue ring on top of the Melitta
®
Claris
®
water lter. This way, you can easily see when it is time to change the
Melitta
®
Claris
®
water lter.
• Put the water lter in a glass with fresh tap water for several minutes
before you insert it.
• Lift the lid of the water tank (Fig. A, no. 3) and pull the water tank up
and out of the appliance.
• Empty the water tank.
• Carefully screw the Melitta
®
Claris
®
water lter into the thread on the
base of the water tank using the screw-in aid at the bottom end of the
coffee scoop provided.
• Fill the water tank to the max. mark with fresh tap water and reinsert it.
• Place a vessel under the Perfect Cappuccino and push the steam pipe
downwards until it is positioned below the brim of the vessel.
• Turn the valve switch (Fig. A, no. 6) clockwise to open the valve.
→ Water now runs into the vessel beneath the Perfect Cappuccino.
• As soon as the water tank symbol illuminates, turn the valve switch
anti-clockwise to close the valve.
→ The appliance is ready for operation.
Note
The Melitta
®
Claris
®
water lter should not remain dry over an extended period
of time. We therefore recommend storing the Melitta
®
Claris
®
water lter in
the refrigerator in a glass of water when the appliance will not be in use for
extended periods.
