Note: This machine has been tested with coffee. Although it has been carefully cleaned, there may be
some coffee residues left. We guarantee, however, that the machine is absolutely new.
First installation
To prepare your coffee machine for use, you need to perform a few simple steps such as filling the
water circuit and activating the AquaClean filter. These steps are shown in the separate quick start
guide.
For the best-tasting coffee, you need to brew 5 coffees initially to allow the machine to complete its
self-adjustment.
The machine has been set up to get the best taste out of your coffee beans. Therefore we advise you
not to adjust the grinder settings until you have brewed 100-150 cups (approx. 1 month of usage).
AquaClean filter
The AquaClean filter is designed to reduce limescale deposits in your coffee machine and provide
filtered water to preserve the aroma and flavor of each cup of coffee. If you use a series of 8
AquaClean filters as indicated by the machine and in this user manual, you don't have to descale your
machine for up to 5000 cups. With each filter you can enjoy up to 625 cups, depending on the
selected coffee varieties and the rinsing and cleaning frequencies.
Preparing the AquaClean filter for activation
Before you place the AquaClean filter in the water tank, you need to prepare it for use:
1 Shake the filter for about 5 seconds (Fig. 2).
2 Immerse the filter upside down in a jug with cold water and wait until no more air bubbles come
out (Fig. 3).
3 Push the filter onto the filter connection to the lowest possible point. (Fig. 4)
Activating the AquaClean filter
You need to activate every new AquaClean filter that you use. By activating the AquaClean filter, the
machine monitors the capacity of the AquaClean filter and the number of filters used. There are 3
ways to activate the AquaClean filter.
1. Activating the AquaClean filter during first installation
After switching on for the first time, the machine guides you through the first installation steps such as
filling the water tank, filling the water circuit and activating the AquaClean filter. Simply follow the
instructions on the screen.
