1If the flow rate decreases and/or the filter becomes
dirty the filter cartridge needs to be cleaned with
the included abrasive cleaning paper (H).
2Unscrew the filter nut (C) and remove the filter
element.
3Wrap the abrasive cleaning paper around the filter
element and clean the surface by scrubbing gently
up and down. Do it under clean running water of
the lower bucket.
Only remove as much as needed of the ceramic
surface otherwise the lifetime of the filter cartridge
will be shorter.
Please note: Do not use any soap or other cleaning
agents.
Check with end of life indicator (G) if the filter
element is still usable.
If the end of life indicator fits around the smallest
part of the filter element, the filter is not longer safe
and the filter element must be replaced.
