To activate the AquaClean water filter on the Philips 1200 Fully Automatic Espresso Machine, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the machine is switched on and the water tank is empty.
2. Shake the AquaClean water filter for about 5 seconds to activate it.
3. Immerse the filter upside down in a jug with cold water and shake/press it to remove any air bubbles.
4. Insert the filter vertically onto the filter connection in the water tank. Press it down to the lowest possible point.
5. Fill the water tank with fresh water and place it back into the machine.
6. If attached, remove the LatteGo or milk frother.
7. Place a bowl under the hot water spout/milk frother.
8. Press and hold the AquaClean icon for 3 seconds. The start light will start pulsing.
9. Press the start/stop button to start the activation process.
10. Hot water will be dispensed from the hot water spout/milk frother for approximately 3 minutes.
11. When the activation process is finished, the blue AquaClean light will go on to confirm that the AquaClean water filter has been activated correctly.
Note: It is important to prepare the AquaClean water filter before activation by soaking it in water. This ensures that water is drawn into the machine instead of air, which can cause noise and prevent the machine from brewing coffee properly. Also, make sure to descale the machine before activating the AquaClean water filter if the orange AquaClean light is off.
