“Low water” message (water reserve)
Function:
The water level is monitored using a capacitive sen-
sor. This is fi tted on the side of the machine at the
height level of the lower third of the water tank.
When the sensor communicates to the electronics
that there is no water in the tank at its level, there
is still a water reserve of 200 fl owmetre pulses
remaining for the current dispensing that will be
completed.
If a drink cycle ends after the sensor has been
triggered (in the reserve) then the message "Water
low" continues to be displayed also the next time
you request a drink.

Limescale fi lter Intenza (Brita)
Function:
Reduction or delay of limescale deposits.•
Improved quality of water.•
Optimum taste due to the ideal water hard-•
ness.
Life span / descaling performance:
- 10° dH•
60 litres•
2 months•
To achieve the best possible consistency in the
operating mode over the total life span, the water is
blended using a 3 stage bypass (A, B, C) depending
on the degree of hardness. See the small picture.
