Philips CA6903 AquaClean Calc Water filter User Manual
CA6903
Introduction
The AquaClean filter provides filtered water to protect your coffee machine and to ensure an intense taste and aroma of your coffee.
Important
Read this important information carefully before you use the AquaClean filter and save it for future reference.
Warning
- The AquaClean filter is only designed for use with direct safe drinking water (which is constantly controlled and safe to drink according to legal regulations) and with water from private supplies which has been approved as safe to drink. If an instruction is received from the authorities that municipal water must be boiled, the filtered water must also be boiled. When the instruction to boil water is no longer in force, the entire coffee machine must be cleaned and a new cartridge inserted.
- Clean the water tank regularly.
- For certain groups of people (e.g. people with weakened immune systems and babies) it is generally recommended to boil tap water. This also applies to filtered water.
- For hygienic reasons, the material of the AquaClean filter is subjected to a special treatment with silver. A small quantity of silver, which is harmless to health, may end up in filtered water. This is in compliance with the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommendations for drinking water.
- If you suffer from kidney disease, are a dialysis patient and/or follow a sodium-restricted diet, please note that during the filtration process, the sodium content may be increased slightly. We advise you to consult your doctor first before using filtered water.
- When you descale the coffee machine, always remove the AquaClean filter from the water tank. Then thoroughly clean the whole water tank and replace the AquaClean filter.
- Philips does not accept any responsibility or liability if the above recommendations for using and replacing the AquaClean filter are not followed.
Caution
- Store replacement AquaClean filters in a cool and dry place in their original, sealed packaging.
- As water is a foodstuff, the water in the water tank must be used up within 1 to 2 days.
- If you have not used your coffee machine for a prolonged period (e.g. a holiday, a period over 3 months from installation, or when a new filter is required), perform the procedure described in chapter ‚Preparing for use‘.
Preparing for use
- Remove the AquaClean filter from its packaging. Shake the filter for about 5 seconds (Fig. 1).
- Immerse the filter upside down in a jug with cold water and wait until no more air bubbles come out (Fig. 2).
- Remove the water tank from the machine and insert the filter vertically onto the filter connection (Fig. 3). Press it down until it cannot move further.
- Fill the water tank with fresh clean water and place it back into the machine (Fig. 4).
- If the machine has a display make sure you activate the filter in the machine menu. Follow the user instructions provided with the machine (Fig. 5).
Note: The claim ‚Up to 5000 cups without descaling*‘ is valid only for machines having the AquaClean sticker on the water tank.* an Actual number of cups depends on selected coffee varieties, rinsing and cleaning patterns. Based on 8 filters replacement as indicated by the machines. - To rinse the filter, let half a litre of water flow out from the dispensing spout or steam tube of the espresso machine. Discard this water (Fig. 6).
Note: If you have not used your coffee machine for a short period (e.g. 2 weeks), perform steps 1 to 4 with the installed AquaClean filter. Then dispense a cup of hot water (0.250 l). The filter and machine are now ready for use.
