Steps

  1. Take the small white filter out of the tank and keep it somewhere dry; you will need it again for descaling. Only when: first fitting, on machines that came with the small white filter

    From the manual: “Remove the small white filter from the water tank and store it in a dry place.”

  2. Unpack the new cartridge and hold it under cold water with its opening facing up.

    From the manual: “immerse it in cold water with the opening pointing upwards”

  3. Squeeze its sides gently until no more air bubbles come out. Repeat until no more bubbles

    From the manual: “Press the sides of the filter gently to let out the air bubbles.”

  4. Turn the ring on the cartridge to your water hardness: A soft, B the factory setting, C very hard; a test strip tells you which.

    From the manual: “Turn the knob of the filter to the setting that corresponds to the water hardness of the area you live in.”

  5. Put the cartridge in the empty tank and press it down as far as it will go.

    From the manual: “Place the filter in the empty water tank. Press it down until it cannot move any further.”

  6. Fill the tank to MAX with fresh water and slide it into the machine.

    From the manual: “Fill the water tank with fresh water up to the MAX indication and slide it into the machine.”

  7. Dispense hot water until the tank has run empty, and discard it.

    From the manual: “Let the machine brew hot water until the water tank is empty”

  8. Refill the tank to MAX and put it back.

    From the manual: “Refill the water tank with fresh water up to the MAX indication and slide it back into the machine.”
