How do I activate the AquaClean water filter on my Philips 2200 espresso machine?

[VonGeorge]

Activating the AquaClean water filter on your Philips 2200 Fully Automatic Espresso Machine is easy. Follow these steps for optimal performance: First, ensure your machine is powered on. Next, shake the AquaClean water filter for about five seconds. Then, submerge the filter upside down in a jug of cold water; shake and gently press to remove any trapped air bubbles. Now, insert the filter vertically into the filter connection inside the water tank, pushing it down as far as it will go. Fill the water tank with fresh water and reinsert it into the machine. If attached, remove the LatteGo or milk frother. Place a container under the hot water spout or milk frother. Press and hold the AquaClean icon for three seconds; the start light will pulse. Press the start/stop button to initiate the activation process. Hot water will dispense from the hot water spout or milk frother for around three minutes. Finally, when the activation is complete, the blue AquaClean light will illuminate, confirming successful activation of the water filter. Remember, proper activation is key for the best taste and machine performance.
