BRITA MAXTRA water filter system

In models equipped with a water filter system, only BRITA MAXTRA water filter cartridges may be used. BRITA MAXTRA cartridges can be purchased from retailers or directly from Bosch Customer Service.

The appliance can be used with or without a filter cartridge. Keep in mind that you will enjoy the benefits of BRITA filtration only if a MAXTRA filter cartridge is installed in the appliance. Tea and coffee also have more aroma when prepared with fresh, BRITA-filtered water.

To use the machine without a filter, simply remove the filter holder and the filter cartridge and adjust the machine settings accordingly.

Important: The Filter Yes/No setting controls the filter replacement indicator.

Changing the filter setting

  1. Turn the appliance off with the on/off switch.
  2. Press and hold the temp. set button.
  3. Turn the appliance back on with the on/off switch – the 💧 icon flashes.

    • No = 💧 does not light up
  5. Release the temp. set button – the setting is now stored, and the most recently selected temperature lights up.

Note: To change this setting at any time, repeat the above procedure.

After setting the filter to "yes", the 💧 symbol will light up after a certain time during operation. The BRITA MAXTRA filter cartridge is exhausted and needs to be changed.

Preparing and installing the BRITA MAXTRA filter cartridge

  1. Remove the filter cartridge's protective packaging.
  2. Immerse the filter cartridge in cold tap water and shake it lightly (for about five seconds) to remove any air bubbles.
  3. Take the filter holder out of the water tank and firmly insert the cartridge into the holder until you hear a click.
  4. Hold the filter holder under the water tap and fill it with fresh, cold water; let the water run through the BRITA MAXTRA filter cartridge.
  5. Repeat this procedure two or three times.
  6. Place the filter holder with the filter cartridge back into its position in the empty water tank and fill the tank with cold tap water.
  7. Hold down start/stop button for at least 2 seconds to delete 💧.

Note: To replace the cartridge, simply pull on the strap attached to the top of the cartridge. When installing a new cartridge, follow the above steps for preparing and inserting a cartridge.

Used BRITA MAXTRA water filter cartridges can be disposed of with the regular household garbage. For questions, contact BRITA Consumer Service at 0844 742 4800 (toll-free).

Important information

Descaling

Your appliance has an automatic descaling programme. When the 🔧 icon lights up, run the descaling programme as soon as possible. If the descaling programme is not run as instructed, the appliance may be damaged.

Tip: With very hard, calciferous water, please descale the appliance more often than the 🔧 symbol is displayed. Even filtered water contains low amounts of calcium carbonate.

  1. Turn the appliance off with the on/off switch.
  2. Press and hold the start/stop button.
  3. Turn the appliance back on with the on/off switch.
  4. Release the start/stop button as soon as the 🔧 symbol lights up.

Now proceed as described under "Running the descaling programme".

Suitable descaling agents are available from Bosch Customer Service (Article No. 310967) or from specialty retailers.

Notes:

Running the descaling programme

  1. Remove the water tank, pour out any remaining water, and reinsert it.
  2. Prepare the descaling solution according to the manufacturer's instructions and pour it into the water tank up to the calc mark. A descaling agent approved especially for this machine is available from Bosch Customer Service (Article No. 310967) or from specialty retailers.
  3. Place a container holding at least 500 ml under the water outlet. The container must fit the cup stand exactly and must remain in place. Set the cup stand to the lowest position.
  4. Press and hold the start/stop button for at least 10 seconds to start the descaling programme.
  5. The descaling programme will now run automatically. The 🔧 icon flashes while the programme is running. (The programme runs for approx. 10 minutes).
  6. The descaling solution is pumped through the appliance in multiple phases and then runs into the container until the water tank is almost empty. A small amount of solution is always left in the tank.
  7. When the most recently selected temperature icon lights up, the descaling program has finished.
  8. Rinse the water tank thoroughly and fill up to the max mark with fresh water.
  9. Now select and draw warm water three times to rinse out the appliance. Do not drink this water!

Important: Do not interrupt the descaling process under any circumstances. If the programme is interrupted because of, for example, too little water or a power failure, it must be restarted.

The appliance is now fully operational again, and you can re-insert the filter holder with the BRITA MAXTRA filter cartridge.
