Coffee connoisseur’s secret: the ultimate guide to changing the water filter in your delonghi magnifica evo

Maintaining the optimal performance of your DeLonghi Magnifica Evo espresso machine requires regular water filter changes. By following the simple steps outlined in this comprehensive guide, you can effortlessly replace the water filter and ensure your machine continues to deliver exceptional coffee experiences.

Step 1: Locate the Water Filter Compartment

Open the service door on the right-hand side of your Magnifica Evo machine. Remove the water tank from the machine and locate the water filter compartment at the bottom of the tank.

Step 2: Remove the Old Filter

Gently pull the old water filter straight up to remove it from the compartment. Dispose of the old filter responsibly.

Step 3: Prime the New Filter

Remove the new water filter from its packaging and submerge it in a container of cold water for about 5 minutes. This will activate the filter and remove any air bubbles.

Step 4: Insert the New Filter

Insert the primed water filter into the compartment, aligning it with the guide rails. Push the filter down until it locks into place.

Step 5: Reinstall the Water Tank

Fill the water tank with fresh, cold water and reinsert it into the machine. Ensure that the tank is securely seated.

Step 6: Reset the Filter Indicator

Turn the machine off and back on again. The water filter indicator light should reset to indicate that a new filter has been installed.

Step 7: Run a Cleaning Cycle

To remove any residual water or air from the system, run a cleaning cycle by pressing the “Clean” button and following the on-screen instructions.

Troubleshooting

Filter Not Fitting Properly

Ensure that the filter is inserted correctly and is fully seated in the compartment. If the filter is still not fitting, try removing and reinserting it.

Water Filter Indicator Light Still On

If the water filter indicator light remains on after resetting, the filter may be defective or not properly installed. Try replacing the filter with a new one and ensure it is inserted correctly.

Water Tastes Off

If your coffee tastes off after changing the water filter, run a few more cleaning cycles to remove any residual impurities. If the taste persists, contact DeLonghi customer support.
