Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: These filters are specifically designed for Saeco AquaClean series coffee machines, including models such as Exprelia, Granaroma, Granbaristo, Incanto, Intelia, and Picobaristo. Always confirm your machine model is listed before purchase.
Setup:
- Ensure your coffee machine is turned off and unplugged.
- Remove the water tank from the machine.
- Unscrew and remove any existing filter (if applicable).
- Fully immerse the new filter in a bowl of cold water for approximately 5 minutes to prepare it for use. This step helps to activate the filter media.
- Securely attach the new filter to the water tank spout, ensuring the pre-installed O-ring creates a tight seal.
- Reinstall the water tank into the coffee machine.
- Refer to your coffee machine's manual for any specific priming or initial rinse instructions, which may involve running a water cycle.
Care: These are disposable filters and are not washable or reusable. Replace them according to the frequency recommended in your Saeco machine's manual or when the machine indicates a filter change is due, typically every 2-3 months depending on usage and water hardness.
