used.

The impregnated resins reduce water hardness

and therefore prolong the working life of the

appliance.

“CF” is displayed when the limescale ﬁl-

ter needs replacing. The efﬁcacy of the ﬁlter

depends on water hardness. It should, howe-

ver, be replaced every ﬁve years.

the operation in a suitable location.

After replacing the ﬁlter, wait at least an hour

before starting the machine again.

When the ﬁlter has been replaced, turn the

alarm off by pressing the ON/STAND-BY

button (15) for 10 seconds.

The appliance emits a beep.
