3.2 Water tank softener handling
A water softener (filter) can be installed inside the water tank to reduce the build-up of
limescale in your coffee machine. (Advised model: Claris CS-150 filter/softener). The table
below shows its capacity at various water hardness levels. Check the website of your water
supply company for water hardness values.
Take the water tank out of the machine.
Install the softener inside the water tank on
top of the outlet by turning it clockwise.
Repeat this 5 times.
(Empty the cup when a cycle is completed.)
