16a. INSTALLING & ACTIVATING
THE CLARIS WATER CARTRIDGE
Important: Never install the cartridge before or during the first
time preparation of the machine.
• Make sure the water tank is empty.
• Remove cartridge from its bag.
• Open water container lid and pull up the holder for the Claris
cartridge (Fig.10).
• Insert the cartridge with its tapered end down. Make sure it
fits snugly over the white mesh piece inside the water
container. Push down gently (Fig.11).
• Close the holder for the cartridge so that it engages in the
water tank (Fig.12).
• Fill the water tank with fresh cold water and replace.
You must activate the cartridge as follows:
• Push and hold the P button. The display shows <
FILTER NO>
• Touch the ST@RT; the word NO starts blinking.
• Touch either arrow, display shows:
FILTER YES.
• Touch the ST@RT to confirm. The display shows:
INSERT FILTER WATER PORTION
• Place a large container underneath the frother (at least 30 oz.
capacity).
• Push the Hot Water Button. The machine pumps water through
the frother, activating the filter. This will take about 90
seconds. During this time the display reads
FILTER RINSING.
When the water flow stops the displays reads

The machine automatically returns to its coffee brewing setting:
SELECT PRODUCT
Please note: As long as the filter is activated, the water hardness
setting is automatically turned off.
16b. REPLACING THE CLARIS CARTRIDGE
The filter is monitored automatically. After approx. 50 liters of
water (55 quarts), the filter loses its effect. The display will show:
REPLACE FILTER SELECT PRODUCT. You can still make
coffee, but we recommend replacing the filter within one week!
Attention: The filter should be changed every 2 months if you
use less than 50 liters of water. In this case, no message will
appear in the display.
Important: Once the filter has lost its calcium suppressing abili-
ties, 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 cartridge from its bag.
• Open water container lid and pull up the holder for the
Claris cartridge (Fig.10).
• Insert the cartridge with its tapered end down. Make sure it
fits snugly over the white mesh piece inside the water
container. Push down gently (Fig.11).
• Close the holder for the cartridge so that it engages in the
water tank (Fig.12).
• Fill the water tank with fresh cold water and replace.
• Turn the machine off.
