Please note: We recommend to set the time (chapter 26.7). If
you have not used 75 liters of water in three months, the filter
monitor will indicate that a filter change is necessary.
Important: Once the filter has lost its calcium suppressing 
abilities, calcium will build up inside the machine. Since the 
Water Hardness Selector is off, the machine will not remind you 
when to decalcify. This could clog and ruin your machine. 
• Push the Rinse Button. 

. 

• Remove the old filter and set the extension rod aside. The 

used filter cartridge is environmentally friendly and can be 
disposed with your regular household trash. 
Important: Keep the Extension Rod 

• Make sure the water tank is empty. 
• Remove the new cartridge from its bag and rinse under 

running water. Now install as explained in chapter 23A.

• Place a 20 oz. container under the Auto Cappuccino System.
• Push and hold the Rinse Button until the display shows 

For the next 90 seconds the Z5 will push 

water through the cartridge and out through the milk nozzle. 
Initially, the water may have a slight discoloration. The program
will stop automatically. The display shows 

and then

24. WATER HARDNESS MONITOR 
If you do not use the Clearyl Filter Cartridge (chapters 23 – 23B.)
the Z5 will remind you when it is time to perform a decalcifying
cycle. The machine is set to medium hard water. If you have
harder water you need to set it to a higher level. If you have soft-
er water you can set it to a lower level. If you are not sure about
the hardness of your water, ask your local water company for the

"Water Hardness in Grains." The Z5 will show you the water
hardness in the German hardness scale (which is a bit different
from the American "Grain" scale (see chart below).

You can also use the enclosed water hardness indicator strip to 

determine the water hardness: 
• Insert the stick for one second into the water you want to 

use. Shake off any access water and wait for one minute. 

• If all five fields of the test stick turn reddish, set the hardness 

level to 5 squares. If four fields turn reddish, set the hardness 
level to 4 squares and so on.

Please note: If you use Spring Water or Bottled Water you can
set the hardness level to 1, "extremely soft water". 

The Z5 will give you the following options:

bottled water is recommended.
