10  Inserting, changing and removing the water  filter

A Melitta

®

 Claris

®

 water filter is supplied with the appliance for filtering out limescale 

and other contaminants. Using the filter helps to reduce the required frequency of 

descaling. The service life of your appliance will be extended thanks to the reliable 

protection from limescale. The water filter should be changed regularly, however; 

at the latest, when the appliance prompts you to do so. When the water filter is 

inserted, changed or removed, this must be confirmed in the

 Filter

 sub-menu. Once 

the water filter is inserted or changed, the appliance resets the water filter cycle to 

zero and is able to prompt you to change the water filter again at the right time.
