Replace your filter

The CUBE is equipped with an Active Carbon filter and a Hollow Fibre filter. Both filters together ensure a better water quality because they filter bacteria, chloride, chemicals and pesticides from the water. For hygienic reasons, the filters should be replaced every 12 months, regardless of the amount of water used.

Briefly press the red flashing button below the sliding panel on top of the CUBE. The red light will go out and the beeping sound will stop temporarily.

Step 2: Switch off the Quooker tank using the ‘Q’ button, but do not unplug it. Activate the boiling water tap (push-push-turn) and let the water run until it runs cold. Also run the cold water tap at the same time. Stop the tap when it is completely cold. Close the isolation valve (PRO3 B/COMBI B) or the isolation valve on the inlet combination valve (PRO3 E/PRO7 E/COMBI E).

Step 3: Detach the saturated cartridge by unscrewing it out of the head and replace it with a new one.

Step 4: Open the isolation valve (PRO3 B/COMBI B) or the isolation valve of the inlet combination valve (PRO3 E/PRO7 E/COMBI E). Ventilate the system by activating the boiling water tap and run for 20 seconds. Check for leaks. Now activate the boiling function again and let the water run for about 5 minutes, until the water runs clear. Switch on the tank using the Q button. Once the water has heated up again, the Quooker system is ready to use.

Step 5: When installed with a Scale Control R Meter: resetting the Meter. Wake-up the Meter by pressing the wheel once. Turn the wheel to ‘reset’ and press the wheel to confirm. The screen will go blank after a short while, it does this to conserve power.
