CLEANING THE FILTER (g 4)

Theremovablefilterconsistsofameshtoretaintheparticlesofscaleandpreventthemfalling

intoyourcupwhenpouring.Thisfilterneithertreatsnorremovesthehardnessofthewater.It

thusconservesallthequalitiesofthewater.Withveryhardwater,thefiltercanclogveryquickly

(10to15uses).Itisimportanttocleanitregularly.Ifitiswet,putitunderarunningtap,ifdry,

thenbrushitgently.Sometimesthescalewillnotdetachitself;itwillthenneeddescaling.
