1 SAFETY
1.1 Safety instructions
Note:
►
Follow the information in the operating
instructions
for inserting or replacing the water filter!
►
Do not insert filter if a descaling indicator lights up on
the appliance! First descale the appliance!
►
If the appliance is always operated with the water
filter inserted, descale as a precaution onc
e or twice
a year!
Important information:
►
Use water filter only with tap water which is supplied
by the water utility companies. This drinking water is
checked and meets the legal requirements for
drinking water quality.
► Filter cold water only.
► Clean water tank regularly.
►
If an instruction is received from the authorities that
tap water must be boiled, the filtered water must also
be boiled!
►
When the demand to boil water ends, the complete
filter system must be cl
eaned and a new filter
cartridge inserted!
►
In general it is recommended to boil tap water for
specific groups of people (e.g. immunodeficient
people, babies). This also applies to filtered water.
►
For reasons of hygiene the water filter cartridge
contents are specially treated with silver. A
small
amount of silver that poses no health risk
may be
released into the water. This amount
complies with
the recommendations of the
World Health
Organization (WHO).

Appliances with a water filtration system can be operated with or
without a water filter cartridge.
If the water filter is not to be used, the water filter cartridge must be
taken out of the appliance and the appliance´s basic settings must be
changed.
3.2 BRITA INTENZA Water filter cartridge
Using the BRITA INTENZA water filter
cartridge not only reduces the calcium content,
but also filters substances which
impair the
aroma and taste the coffee drink, such as
chlorine, out of the tap water.
Carbon hardness,
heavy metals and other
substances are reduced to protect the machine
and improve drink quality. Important minerals
and fluoride are retained.
3.3 Preparing and inserting the water filter cartridge
Note:
The BRITA INTENZA water filter
cartridge must be
rinsed in water before the
first coffee or espresso is
dispensed.
If the appliance is fitted with a new water filter cartridge, proceed as
follows:
1. Remove protective film from water filter cartridge.
(Note: Water filter cartridge and inside of the film may be damp on
account of condensation.)
2. Adjusting the bypass-ring.

58300000171553_en_b – 25.09.13 Seite 4 von 7
As the calcium content of water has a significant influence on the
aroma and the ‚crema‘ of the coffee drink, the BRITA INTENZA
water filter cartridge has an aroma ring (bypass-ring) on the
underside.
By turning this ring you can set the optimal aroma level (A, B or C)
for the tap water (see: Determine the water hardness). Factory
setting is level B.
A water hardness of approx. 6 – 8° dH is optimum for the
preparation of coffee and espresso, thereby ensuring that the full
aroma can be developed (see: Bypass-function).
3. Hold the water filter cartridge under cold water, gently agitate and
squeeze it to remove all the air bubbles.
The water filter cartridge is now ready for use.
4. Remove water tank from the appliance. Place the filter vertically on
the water intake valve so it snaps into place noticeably. Make sure
that the filter is installed securely on the valve.
If necessary, use the measuring spoon as auxiliary tool.
5. Fill up the water tank with fresh cold water up to the „max“ mark.
6. Re-insert the water tank and press it all the way down.
7. Change basic settings and activate the water filter.
Note:
By activating the water filter in the basic settings, a
rinsing cycle will be started.
Particulate material will be
rinsed out and air will be removed from the water line
system.

3.4 Determine the water hardness
Determine the water hardness using the enclosed test strip or ask the
local water supplier.
Test strip for water hardness determination: Mat.-no.: 056317
3.4.1 Determine the water hardnes
► Remove test strip from the wrapper.
► Immerse it with the reaction zone in a glass of cold tap water
for one second.
► Shake the strip to remove excess water.
► Wait for about 1 minute before checking the result

4.1 Water filter
►
Follow the information in the operating instructions
for inserting or replacing the water filter!
► Do not use a filter if a service program display ligh
ts
up when the appliance is switched on! First descale
the appliance!
4.1.1 Filter specifications
Max. capacity: 125 liters at 10° dH
The filter filling consists of approx. 100 ml ion exchange resin and
silvered activated carbon in the ratio 4:1.

4.1.2 Bypass function
To set the optimum water hardness of approx. 6– 8° dH an adjustable
amount of unfiltered water can be mixed through the opening (6) with
the out flowing, filtered water.
To do this, turn the ring (5) on the underside of the filter cartridge.

4.1.3 Filtration when drawing water
The water required for the preparation of coffee is filtered directly
before use. The water is drawn in through filters (1) in the lower area
of the filter cartridge, filtered through the granules (2) + (3) and
drained through a filter (4) which is centered on the water tank valve.
4.1.4 4-Step filtration
Step 1:
Intensive preliminary filtration
In the first step the water flows through a fine filter fabric (1).
Suspended particles and contaminants are filtered out of the water.
Step 2:
Ion exchanger filtration
The ion exchanger (2) reduces lime and any occurring lead and
copper.
Step 3:
Activated carbon filtration
The activated carbon (3) reduces substances which emit odors and
impair taste and which may get into the water e.g. via the domestic
installation.
Step 4:
Intensive final filtration
In the fourth step a special fine fabric filter (4) retains mixture particles.
