Setting Up The Machine; Filling The Bean Container; Determining The Water Hardness - Jura GIGA X8 Instructions For Use Manual

Setting up the machine

Filling the bean container

Determining the water
hardness
When setting up your GIGA, please note the following:
U
Place the GIGA on a horizontal surface that is not sensitive to
water (minimum height of 31.5 in. (80 cm)).
U
Choose a spot for your GIGA which protects the machine
against overheating. Ensure that the ventilation slats are not
covered.
NOTICE Coffee beans which have been treated with additives (e.g. sugar),
ground coffee or freeze-dried coffee will damage the grinder.
T Only use roasted, untreated coffee beans to fill the bean
container.
T Remove the aroma preservation cover.
T Remove any dirt or foreign objects from inside the bean
container.
T Fill the bean container with coffee beans and close the
aroma preservation cover.
When you use the machine for the first time, you must set the water
hardness. If you do not know the hardness of your water, you can
find this out first. Use the Aquadur® test strips supplied with the
machine.
T Hold the test strip briefly (for 1 second) under flowing water.
Shake off the water.
T Wait for about 1 minute.
T You will then be able to read the degree of water hardness
from the discoloration of the Aquadur® test strip and the
description on the packaging.
