3.12. AquaClean water filter EP models

The AquaClean filter is designed to reduce limescale deposits in the coffee machine and provide filtered water to
preserve the aroma and flavor of each cup of coffee. By using a series of 8 AquaClean filters, there is no need to
descale the machine for 5000 cups (It depends both on the type of coffee used, rinsing and cleaning programs).
We recommend
chine to the maximum before using 5 L of water. The machine display will indicate
when the filter needs to be replaced. The maximum limit is equivalent to 110 L of water.
The conditions related to the filter work environment (water, therefore, an active environment for bacteria
and microorganisms), require the replacement with a minimum frequency (we suggest 3 months from the
activation to ensure the best performance). The filter starts' working from the time is filled with water and
continues working even with the machine off. It cannot be deactivated manually, as it must end its life cycle.
At the filter activation the display shows the icon with the percentage of use:
- Initially 100% then decreasing.
When the autonomy of the current filter becomes less than 8 L of water the display
shows:
- The icon flashing slowly. It means 10%.
When the autonomy of the current filter becomes less than 2 L of water the display
shows
- The icon flashing quickly. It means 0%.
After a maximum of 110 L of water supplied the flashing light turn off and the
machine needs to be descaled.
The water tank of all Minuto EP models is designed to fit only with the AquaClean filter.
