This filter neither treats nor removes the hardness of the water so it conserves all the qualities of the water. With very hard water, the filter can clog very quickly, after 10 to 15 uses so it is important to clean the filter regularly. • If the filter is wet, put it under running water.

Never remove the filter when the appliance is full of hot water.
