3. Adjusting the basic settings
! Empty the water reservoir (Image 1/F and 2) and carefully screw
the lter into the holder provided in the water reservoir using the
assembly tool on the end of the measuring spoon (Image 4).
Caution: Be careful not to turn too far or to cause it to snap off.
! Fill the water reservoir with fresh water and put it back into the
machine.
! Place a receptacle with at least 0.5l capacity under the spout and
slightly to the left (Image 1/E) and press the Rotary control knob.
The system will now be rinsed. The message, "Rinsing lter", will
appear on the display screen.
! Wait until water stops coming out of the spout.
The system will now heat up. Then the main menu will appear (Im-
age 1/A), and the system will be ready for use.
Please note: If you operate the machine with the lter and have set the
system to "Filter inserted? Yes", you cannot set water hardness. The
machine is set to water hardness level 1 by default. This means that you
have to descale your machine less often – but you must still descale
it when necessary. ALWAYS TAKE THE FILTER OUT before descaling!
The lter loses its ef ciency after processing about 50 l of water.
Caution: Even if the display screen does not show the message, "Replace
lter", and even if the machine is only used occasionally, the lter must
be changed at least every two months.
3.1.2 Operating the machine without the lter
If you wish to operate the machine without the lter, you must reset
the lter setting to "Filter inserted? No". This is important because
the machine needs to be descaled more often without a lter, de-
pending on water hardness (the machine's default factory setting is
"Filter inserted? No").

the Rotary control knob.

! From here you can either continue and program the other settings,
or leave the settings by pressing the exit button.
Caution: If you are operating the machine without the lter, please do not
forget to set the correct water hardness level (see 3.2).
3.2. Setting the water hardness level
Depending on the level of water hardness in your area, the machine
will have to be descaled sooner or later. In order for the system to be
able to indicate when descaling is required, you must set the correct
water hardness level before you have even used the machine.
If you use the machine with a lter and set the appropriate lter set-
ting (see 3.1 above), water hardness will be set to level 1 by default.
The basic factory setting for water hardness is LEVEL 3.
Firstly, test the quality of your water with the enclosed test strip:
! Dip the test strip in the water and gently shake it off.
! After about a minute, you will be able to read the test result by
counting the number of red dots on the test strip.
! The settings for the different water hardness levels are as follows:
Test strip / Degree of hardness = display
1 red dot / 1–7° = (HARDNESS) LEVEL 1
2 red dots / 8–14° = (HARDNESS) LEVEL 2
3 red dots / 15–21 ° = (HARDNESS) LEVEL 3
4 red dots / >21 ° = (HARDNESS) LEVEL 4
Please note: If no red dot appears, set water hardness to level 1.
Set the water hardness level on your machine as follows:
! Turn the Rotary control knob to the tool symbol, „settings". Press
the Rotary control knob.

or leave the settings by pressing the exit button.
