First Time Set Up
•
Before using your machine, test your water for hardness using the provided test
strips. Fill a glass with cold tap water; dip the tip of the test strip into the water for one
second, then pull the strip out of the water and hold it horizontally for fifteen seconds.
After fifteen seconds, compare the color of the strip to the chart on the side of the
package to determine how many grains of hardness is in your tap water. Three grains or
less of hardness is acceptable to be used in the machine.
Note:
Should your water’s hardness level exceed three grains, then it is strongly
recommended that an in tank softener be used or a different source of water that has
been tested for hardness. Some bottled water can be extremely hard and should always
be tested before using. Using a Brita or PUR style pitcher or faucet filter does NOT
remove any hardness from the water and should only be used in the machine if your
water source is under 3 grains of hardness.
Using hard water in the machine will affect its
performance and may cause damage to the machine, which is not covered under
warranty.
•
Open the hinged reservoir door on the top of the machine and remove the water
reservoir. Rinse the water reservoir out and fill with cold softened water and then install it
back into the machine being careful not to spill any water inside the machine.
•
Be sure that the silicone line is sitting in the bottom of the reservoir like shown. There
is a notch on the right side of the reservoir for the line to sit in and the float should be on
the left side of the machine.
•
Make sure the silicone line is not pushing
the float down or the PID and heating lights
will not turn on.
