The appliance is fitted with a resin lime-scale filter enabling normal tap water to be used. The impregnated resins reduce water hardness and therefore prolong the working life of the appliance.

“CF” is displayed when the limescale fil-ter needs replacing. The efficacy of the filter depends on water hardness.
