6 months.
Important information concerning the
water filter
After use, the water system is subject to low
■
pressure. Be careful when removing the filter!
Rinse the water system through if the appliance has
■
not been used for a long period, or if the water
tastes or smells unpleasant. In addition to this, draw
water from the water dispenser for several minutes. If
the unpleasant taste or smell persists exchange
the filter.

Exchanging the filter cartridge

1. Turn the filter cap on the base of the appliance by
90–180° anti-clockwise.
2. Pull out the filter cartridge.
3. Take a new filter cartridge from the packet
and remove the protective cap.
4. Take the filter cap off of the used filter cartridge.
5. Place the filter cap on the fresh filter cartridge.
6. With the filter cap in a horizontal position, feed
the filter cartridge into the opening on the appliance
base as far as it will go.
7. Turn the filter cartridge 90–180° in a clockwise
direction.
8. Draw a few litres of water from the water dispenser.
