Water system
14 Water system
Water system
Your appliance is equipped with water-carrying compo-
nents.
The water system only works if a water filter or a bypass
cap is installed.
14.1 Water filter
The water filter filters particles and the taste of chlorine out
of the water.
The water filter reduces further contamination, e. g. from
chloramines, lead and pharmaceutical products.
Note:The water filter does not filter bacteria or microbes
out of the water.
Change the water filter:
¡ every 6months.
¡ if lights up.
¡ if the water output has visibly reduced.
Tips
¡ A new water filter can be purchased from customer ser-
vice, your dealer or our website.
¡ If you do not want to use a water filter in your appliance
or an external water filter system is installed, you can
permanently replace the water filter with a bypass cap.
The bypass cap filters only large particles out of the wa-
ter and can be cleaned as required.
A bypass cap can be purchased from customer service
or our website.

bypass cap

ward slightly and move it to the bottom left ⁠.

sure.

with a dry cloth.

household garbage.
