In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through the simple steps on how to change the water filter in your Wolf coffee maker, ensuring a consistently delicious brew.

Materials You’ll Need

  • New Wolf water filter (compatible with your model)
  • Clean cloth or paper towels

Step 1: Unplug and Remove the Water Tank

  • For safety purposes, unplug your Wolf coffee maker.
  • Locate the water tank and gently lift it out of the machine.

Step 2: Remove the Old Filter

  • Open the filter housing located inside the water tank.
  • Grip the old filter and pull it straight up to remove it.

Step 3: Soak the New Filter

  • Remove the new filter from its packaging and soak it in a bowl of cold water for 10 minutes. This helps activate the filter.

Step 4: Insert the New Filter

  • Once the new filter is soaked, insert it into the filter housing.
  • Push it down until it clicks into place.

Step 5: Replace the Filter Housing

  • Close the filter housing securely.

Step 6: Reinsert the Water Tank

  • Ensure that it is properly aligned and seated.

Step 7: Run a Cleaning Cycle

  • Plug in your coffee maker and turn it on.

Benefits of Regularly Changing Your Water Filter

  • Improved Coffee Taste: A clean water filter removes impurities that can affect the flavor of your coffee.
  • Extended Machine Life: Regular filter changes prevent scale buildup, which can damage your coffee maker over time.
  • Healthier Coffee: A clogged filter can harbor bacteria and mold, potentially compromising the healthiness of your coffee.

Troubleshooting Common Issues
