• Allow for a minimum distance from the sides of the machine as
shown in the gure.
Insert the drip tray (external) with grill all the way into the machine.
4
Make sure that it is correctly placed; a "CLICK" will con rm that it is
locked into place.
Note:
The drip tray collects the water that comes out of the dispensing spout
during each rinse/self-cleaning cycle, as well as any co ee that might be
spilled during beverage brewing. Empty and wash the drip tray daily and
each time the full drip tray indicator is raised.
Caution:
NEVER remove the drip tray when the machine has just been turned
on. Wait a couple of minutes for the machine to carry out a rinse/selfcleaning cycle.

Measuring and Programming Water Hardness
Water hardness measuring is very important in order to de ne the machine
descaling frequency and to install the “INTENZA+” water lter (for more
details on the water lter, see next chapter).
To measure the water hardness follow the steps below:
Immerse the water hardness test strip (supplied with the machine) in
1
water for 1 second.
Note:
The test strip can only be used for one single measurement.
Wait for one minute.
2
Check how many squares have changed to red, then consult this table.

Note:
The numbers on the water hardness test strip correspond to the water
hardness adjustment settings.
The letters correspond to the references that are located at the base of the
“INTENZA+” water lter (see next chapter).

“INTENZA+” Water Filter Installation
We recommend that you install the “INTENZA+” water lter as this prevents
limescale build-up in your machine and preserves a more intense aroma of
your co ee.
Water is a crucial part of every co ee, so it is very important to always have
it professionally ltered. Using the “INTENZA+” water lter will prevent
mineral deposits from building up and improve your water quality.
Remove the “INTENZA+” water lter from its packaging, immerse it ver-
1
tically (with the opening positioned upwards) in cold water and gently
press the sides so as to let the air bubbles out.
Set the “INTENZA+” water lter according to the measurements per-
2
formed (see previous chapter) and indicated on the base of the lter:
A = soft water – equals 1 or 2 on the test strip
B = hard water (standard) – equals 3 on the test strip
C = very hard water – equals 4 on the test strip
