cording to local regulations.

Tips
You should also change your wa-
¡
ter filter for reasons of hygiene.
With a water filter you need to de-
¡
scale your appliance less fre-
quently.
If you use a water filter, your coffee
¡
will be more flavoursome.
If your appliance has not been
¡
used for a long time, for example if
you were on holiday, you should
rinse the water filter before use by
dispensing a cup of hot water.
The water filter can be purchased
¡
from retailers or customer service.
