16a. INSTALLING & ACTIVATING THE CLEARYL WATER
CARTRIDGE
Important: Never install the cartridge before or during
"Preparing Machine For The First Time."
• Make sure the water tank is empty.
• Remove cartridge from its bag and rinse cartridge under water.
• Open water container lid and pull up the holder for the
cartridge (Fig.9).
• Insert the cartridge with its tapered end down into the water
container. Make sure it fits securely inside the fins. Push down
gently (Fig.10).
• Close the holder for the cartridge so that it engages in the
water tank (Fig.11).
• Fill the water tank with fresh cold water and replace.

FILTER RINSING. For the next 90 seconds the machine will
push water through the filter and through the frother. Do not
interrupt this process. This activates the filter.

HEATING. READY.
Please note: As long as the filter is activated, the water
hardness setting is automatically turned off.
IMPORTANT: Do not let the filter dry out.
If you do not use your IMPRESSA for more than three days in a
row and you still have an active filter, we recommend the follow-
ing easy procedure: Empty the water tank, remove the filter and
immerse it at least to a third of its length into a cup with cold
water. Store the cup in the refrigerator. This way the filter does
not dry out. When you use your machine again, install the filter.
Use the hot water cycle and let approx. 16 oz. of water run
through the system. Initially the water may be slightly discolored
16b. REPLACING THE CLEARYL WATER CARTRIDGE
The filter is monitored automatically. After approx. 75 liters of
water (~2,500 oz.), the filter loses its effect. The display changes
from
READY to CHG FILTER / READY. You can still make
coffee, but we recommend replacing the filter within one week!
Attention: The filter should be changed every 3 months if you
use less than 75 liters of water. In this case, no message will
appear in the display.
Important: Once the filter has lost its calcium suppressing
abilities, calcium will build up inside the machine. Since the
Water Hardness Selector is off, the machine will not remind you
when to decalcify. This could clog and ruin your machine.
• Remove the old filter. The cartridge is environmentally friendly.
Dispose it with your regular household trash.
• Make sure the water tank is empty.
• Remove the new cartridge from its bag.
• Open the water container lid and pull up the holder for the
cartridge (Fig. 9).
• Insert the cartridge with its tapered end down. Make sure it
fits securely over the white mesh piece inside the water
