the water lter, see next chapter).
To measure the water hardness follow the steps below:
1
Immerse the water hardness test strip (supplied with the machine) in
water for 1 second.
Note:
The test strip can only be used for one single measurement.
2
Wait for one minute.

your co ee.
The “INTENZA+” water lter can be purchased separately. For further details, please refer to the maintenance products page in this manual.
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.
