Measuring Water Hardness; Turning The Appliance On; Turning The Appliance Off - DeLonghi MAGNIFICA START ECAM22 2 Series Instructions For Use Manual

The machine is now ready for use.
Please note:
• When using the machine for the first time, 4-5 coffees
will need to be made before it starts giving satisfactory
results.
• When rinsing the steam circuit, it is best to release hot
water for a few seconds by turning the steam/hot water
dial (A19) to the I position.

4. MEASURING WATER HARDNESS

Setting the water hardness as soon as possible will enable the
machine to optimize the frequency of descaling. This means
that the descale indicator
according to the actual hardness of the local water supply. Pro-
ceed as follows:
1. If a total hardness test indicator paper (C1) is supplied
with the model of machine in question, remove it from
its wrapper.
2. Immerse the paper completely in a glass of water for
about one second (fig. 8).
3. Remove the paper from the water and shake lightly (fig.
9). After about a minute, 1, 2, 3, or 4 red squares appear,

depending on the hardness of the water. Each square cor-
responds to one level.

5. TURNING THE APPLIANCE ON

Please note:
Make sure that the steam/hot water dial (A19) is closed, in the
0 position (fig. 1).
Danger of scalding!
During the rinse, a little hot water flows from the coffee spouts
(A15). Take care to avoid contact with splashes of water. To
avoid the need for frequent emptying of the drip tray (A11),
place a container under the spouts to collect the rinse water.
• To switch the appliance on, press the
the Led of button lights up and the drinks indicator Leds
flash on the control panel (B) to show that the machine
is warming up.
During this step, the machine performs a rinse cycle. Besides
heating up the boiler, this also serves to circulate hot water
through the internal circuits so they too are brought up to
temperature.
The appliance is ready for use when the drinks and intensity
Leds remain permanently alight.

6. TURNING THE APPLIANCE OFF

Whenever the coffee machine is turned off after being used to
make coffee, it performs an automatic rinse cycle.
Danger of scalding!
During the rinse, a little hot water flows from the coffee spouts
(A15). Take care to avoid contact with splashes of water. To
