Adjusting The Grinder; Rinsing The Machine; Adjusting For Water Hardness - Capresso C3000 User Manual

• Push the special coffee button (Fig.2,C).
• The machine will start grinding. Then it will pre-brew, pause,
and continue brewing. It will brew approx. 8 oz. of coffee.
During the first brewing cycle the coffee will be extremely
weak since some of the ground coffee stays in the connector
channel between the grinder and the brewing chamber. Your
next cup of coffee will be fine.

8. ADJUSTING THE GRINDER

You can adjust the grinder to the roast of your coffee. We
recommend the following:
• for a light roast use a finer adjustment.
• for a dark roast use a coarser adjustment.
• Open the cover of the bean container (Fig.5).
• To adjust grinding turn the selector switch to the desired
position (Fig.9).
• You have the following possibilities:
• the smaller the dots, the finer the grinding.
• the bigger the dots, the coarser the grinding.
• CAUTION: The grinding grade should only be adjusted while
the grinder is working.

9. RINSING THE MACHINE

The C3000 will automatically complete a rinse cycle when the
machine is turned off (or when the machine turns off
automatically). When the machine is cold and you turn the
machine on it will warm up ( PLEASE WAIT).
DISPLAY
•
DISPLAY will show RINSE UNIT.
• Place an empty cup under the coffee-spout (Fig.1,1).
• Press rinse button.
• You can always rinse in between. Just press the rinse button.

10. ADJUSTING FOR WATER HARDNESS

• The water is heated inside the machine. With use, this leads
to calcium deposits forming in the machine. This will be
automatically indicated on the display. For this reason, it is
necessary to adjust the machine to the hardness of your
local water before you use it for the first time.
• Ask your local water company for the "Water Hardness in
Grains." You can also use the enclosed "AQUADUR" test
sticks to determine your water hardness. Follow the
instructions on the package. If all five fields of the test stick
turn reddish, set the water hardness to level 4. If four turn
red, set the water hardness level to 3. If three turn red set it
to two. If only one or two turn red, you can leave the setting
as it is. ATTENTION: If you use distilled water, turn the
water hardness function off (--).
• The symbols on the display mean:
HARDNESS LEVEL --: water hardness function is turned
off (see chapter 11)
HARDNESS LEVEL 1: grains 2-9
HARDNESS LEVEL 2: grains 10-19
HARDNESS LEVEL 3: grains 20-29
HARDNESS LEVEL 4: grains 30+
