Press OK to start. ### Can I clear Replace water filter. Press OK to start myself? Press OK to start the change now, or choose later. ### Does every Bertazzoni coffee maker use a water filter? The manual lists the softener filter for certain models only. If yours has none, keep the filter setting off. ### What happens if I ignore Replace water filter on my Bertazzoni? The spent cartridge stops softening, so scale builds faster and descale prompts come sooner. Coffee keeps flowing. ### Can I remove the filter from my Bertazzoni instead of replacing it? Yes, the manual covers removing it and switching the setting off. Descaling then carries the whole load. --- **[Read on the site: Bertazzoni Replace water filter: the softener cartridge is used up](https://coffeemachinerepair.center/error-codes/bertazzoni-replace-water-filter/)** **[Book a visit with CoffeeMachineRepair.center](https://coffeemachinerepair.center/schedule/)**
