BRAUN COFFEMAKERS

How do I use the self-monitoring Water Filter?
The filter should be soaked in cold water for 10 minutes before use. Before inserting it into the back of the water reservoir it is necessary to remove the space compensator and pull the red tab off of the top of the filter. The filter will last approximately 70 brewing cycles. Red will appear in the opening on top when the filter needs to be changed. Be sure to remove the water filter when decalcifying the unit. The space compensator can be re-inserted for the decalcifying process.
What are the benefits of using the self-monitoring Water Filter?
This filter improves the coffee flavor, significantly reduces chlorine, and helps to prevent calcification. It is especially effective if you have hard water
When should I replace the Water Filter of my Braun coffeemaker?
We suggest that for best results you change the filter after 3 months of regular use.
How should I decalcify my coffeemaker?
If you have hard water and you use your coffeemaker without a water filter, it should be decalcified regularly. The frequency depends on the hardness of the water and how often you use your coffeemaker. When using the water filter cartridge and exchanging it regularly, you normally will not need to decalcify. However, if your coffeemaker takes much longer than normal to brew, the appliance has to be decalcified.

Important: Replace the water filter with the space compensator for any decalcification procedure.

Follow the instructions of the manufacturer of the decalcifying agent.

Repeat the procedure as many times as necessary in order to reduce the brewing time per cup to a normal level.

Allow the maximum amount of fresh cold water to run through at least twice to cleanse the coffeemaker
