• All appliances have been tested during production
to ensure they work perfectly. Therefore there may
be for example water deposits remaining. rinse the
appliance twice with the maximum amount of water
and without a filter bag or ground coffee, in order to
clean it.
• For the best coffee enjoyment and convenient use,
the appliance is equipped with various features.
These features are explained below.
3. Set water hardness
Depending on water hardness lime scale may build up
in the appliance. This increases the appliance's energy
consumption as lime scale on the heating element can
prevent the water heating effectively. To avoid damage
the appliance must be descaled regularly. The descaling
display helps you in this. If the CALC-button  is
permanently lit this shows that the appliance needs to
be descaled.
The appliance is pre-set for a high level of water
hardness (level 4). You can find out the level of water
hardness in your area by asking your local water
provider or by using water hardness measuring strips
available in the shops. For softer water the descaling
display can be adjusted to descale less often.
• Hold down the CALC-button  and by briefly
pressing the m-button  set the desired level of
water hardness. The hardness setting will then
show in the display
• Once you have set the desired level of water
hardness, let go of the CALC-button.
Your settings are now saved.
• The settings and display are shown in the table.
