through the filter 2-3 times, using 1 litre each time, before you drink the water.

Please note ► The lifetime of the waterfilter lasts about 4-6 weeks of normal use (filtering of approximately 160 l water in total). ► Despite soaking the filter beforehand, a small residue of black carbon particles may leak out during use. This is normal and harmless. ► Make sure that the bottom of the filter is always in contact with water and never allow it to dry out. If the filter does dry out, then re-soak it for 10 minutes. ► Change the water in the tank every 48 hours at the latest. ► Store the water tank and filter in a cool place and keep them out of direct sunlight.

14.1.1 Preparation of the device

1. Place the device on a hard surface.

2. Fill the tank with approx. 1 litre of water.

3. Place a vessel which can hold approx. 700 ml water under the spout.

4. Start the device with 000 temperature setting until ca. 300 ml water is dispensed.

5. Set the device to 100°C and dispense 400 ml water.

6. The device can now be equipped with waterfilter and filled with fresh water.

7. The device is ready for use.

14.1.2 Set the water hardness

8. Alternatively: Press and hold -button for dispensing of water with 40°C for preparation

of baby food. Water with 40°C will be dispensed as long as button is pressed.

9. If you want to dispense water again, repeat the steps above.

Please note ► If only a small amount of water is dispensed, then the desired temperature may differ. Preheat the vessel. ► If device was not used for longer time there could be scale deposits despite water filter. In this case let 100 ml with 100 °C run through the device. ► The device has a memory function if the plug is still plugged in. The settings, that were adjusted the last time, are still adjusted. The settings will be reset after unplugging. ► The ambient temperature changes everyday. This leads to different amounts of water. It can vary up to +- 15%.

the filter holder (B) with the water filter (C).

2. Follow the steps described in Section

“Preparation of the water filter”. Please note ► Spare water filters are available separately. Set of 6 = Caso Item No. 1841, Set of 3 = Caso Item No. 1861 ► The lifetime of the waterfilter lasts about 4-6 weeks of normal use (filtering of approximately 160 l water in total).

14.2.3 Error code Lo Lack of water

If the device stops to operate with a beeping sound and the display shows the error code Lo Lack of water, it means that there is too little water or no water in the water tank. Please fill in enough water into the water tank immediately.

If you want to optimize the temperature or volume of water, then you can calibrate the device. Fill the tank up to max marking.
