Jura CLARIS Smart+ Water Filter Cartridge Instruction Manual

1. Introduction

The Jura CLARIS Smart+ water filter cartridge is designed to optimize water quality for your Jura automatic coffee machine. Coffee is approximately 98% water, making water quality crucial for the taste of your coffee. This intelligent filter technology enhances hygiene within the coffee machine, from the water tank onwards, and extends the lifespan of your appliance by preventing limescale buildup.

The CLARIS Smart+ filter features a depot with natural active ingredients at its lower end, which stabilizes the water in the tank and reduces limescale deposits. The upper part of the cartridge filters the precise amount of water needed for each coffee preparation using ion exchange and activated carbon, effectively removing harmful and taste-impairing substances like chlorine while retaining essential minerals and fluorides that contribute to flavor.

4. Operating Instructions

Once the CLARIS Smart+ filter cartridge is installed and activated, your Jura coffee machine will automatically recognize its presence and adjust its settings accordingly. The filter continuously purifies the water as it is drawn for each beverage preparation.

• The machine's display will indicate the filter status and when a replacement is due.
• No special operating steps are required for the filter itself during daily use; its function is fully integrated into the machine's operation.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance of your CLARIS Smart+ filter ensures consistent water quality and machine longevity.

• Filter Replacement: Replace the filter cartridge when indicated by your Jura coffee machine. The machine's intelligent system monitors water usage and will prompt you when it's time for a new filter. Typically, a filter lasts for approximately 2 months or 50 liters of water, whichever comes first.
• No Descaling: With continuous use of CLARIS Smart+ filters, descaling of your coffee machine is not necessary. The filter actively prevents limescale buildup.
• Storage: Store unused filter cartridges in their original, sealed packaging in a cool, dry place.
