FILTER AND WATER HARDNESS
WHAT DOES THE WATER HARDNESS ADJUSTMENT DO?
To avoid scaling your machine and to optimise the quality of your co ee, we advise you to set the hardness of your water
on your machine.
HOW TO INDICATE THE WATER HARDNESS OF YOUR MACHINE.
RÉGLAGES
• Fill a glass of water Dip the test stick that comes with the machine into your glass lled
with water.
• Wait 1 minute. The squares on the test stick change colour.
• Count the number of coloured squares. This tells you how hard your water is,
between 0 and 4.
• In the "Water hardness" menu, press the corresponding number between 0 and 4.
• Press OK.
YOU NO LONGER HAVE A TEST STICK?
If you need to repeat this operation later, be sure to change the hardness of the water according to the place of use or the
information provided by the water companies, using the table below:
Degree of water Class 0 Class 1
hardness Very soft Soft
° dH < 3° > 4°
° e < 3,75° > 5°
° f < 5,4° > 7,2°
Appliance settings 0
WHY INSTALL A FILTER CARTRIDGE?
The Claris Aqua Filter System cartridge helps to optimise the taste of your co ee, to limit the build-up of limescale and to
reduce maintenance operations.

GRINDER: ADJUSTING THE GRINDING FINENESS
WHY ADJUST THE GRINDING FINENESS?
You can adjust the strength of your co ee by adjusting the grinding neness of the co ee beans.
Varying the grinding neness makes it possible to adapt to di erent types of bean:
• A heavily roasted and oily bean will require a coarse grind,
• A lighter roasted bean will be drier and will require a ne grind.
In addition, for the same co ee, the setting of your grind impacts the aroma in the cup: the ner the grind, the more powerful
the aroma.

(Dark French)
HOW TO ADJUST THE GRINDING FINENESS
Turn the setting button located in the co ee bean container to suit your bean type and the power of aroma desired. This
adjustment must be performed during grinding and notch by notch. After 3 preparations you will notice a distinct di erence
in taste;

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN THERE ARE NO MORE BEANS IN THE CONTAINER?
Your Intuition machine is equipped with a sensor to predict the lack of co ee beans in the container. An on-screen message
will appear and the Intuitive Indicator Light (I) will illuminate red.
WHAT IF THE ALERT APPEARS DURING THE MAKING?
Fill the container with co ee beans, press OK and the recipe will resume. So no wasted co ee!
HOW TO IF I WANT TO CHANGE COFFEE OR IF I HAVE NO MORE COFFEE?
If you press OK without having added co ee beans, the machine tries to restart and goes back to alert. If you press OK again,
the machine performs the making using all the remaining co ee. The grinder is now empty.
If an alert message appears on your screen and the alert light turns red when there are enough beans:
• Press the OK button to start preheating.
• Disable the "no bean" alert to avoid detections when there is co ee left in the co ee bean container.
