Adjusting the water hardness

To maintain value and function of the appliance it has
an integrated descaling programme. The appliance can
be programmed with 4 degrees of water hardness. It
is set to high water hardness in factory. We recom­mend an individual adjustment based on your local
degree of hardness. You can ask your local water sup­plier or use a special control strip for determining.

To adjust degree of hardness press button „CALC“

provided presetting. For adjustment press button
„MIN“ as long as the display shows your desired
degree of hardness. 2 seconds after releasing the
“CALC” button, the display shows the time again.
Your choosen water hardness is programmed. Last
adjustment maintains even when the appliance will be
disconnected from socket.

Coffee preparation

To maintain the best aroma of your coffee keep the
coffee packaging always closed and store it in a refrid­gerator. We recommend to use 6g ground coffee per
cup for best taste. To secure an optimal brewing
result fold the filterbag 102
