Important:
You should change the factory settings only, if the water hardness of
the water used for the machine has a really low or medium water hardness. The-
re is no liability claim of the purchaser for any damage caused by excessive lime
deposits within the machine.
Important:
After activating the water hardness setting mode, you need to press the
button assigned to the water hardness in your local area within 5 seconds. After 5
seconds with no button pressed, the appliance will shut-off automatically with the
previously set water hardness in memory.
1. Check the actual water hardness of the water you are going to use for the machine.
Information can be provided by your local water works or the responsible bott-
ling plant.
2. Ensure that the appliance is live but switched off (all buttons are dark).
3. Hold the power button, 1 cup button, and 2 cups button pressed simultaneously
for at least 5 seconds. Then release the buttons. The button assigned to the cur-
rently selected water hardness will be flashing (see table above).
Note
After delivery or reset (see: ‘Resetting the Appliance to Factory Settings’), D will
flash for 5 seconds (as the high water hardness is the factory setting). If another
water hardness has been set previously, C or B will flash.
4. Press the button, assigned to the water hardness in your residential area (see the
table above). With no further action within 5 seconds, the selected button will
flash for 5 seconds. Thereafter, the appliance will switch off automatically. You
may use the appliance now as usual.
Note
The selection will be kept in memory, even after disconnecting the appliance from
the power supply.
PREPARATION
Important:
For operation, only fill clear tap water or low-mineral table water into
the water tank. Do NOT use high-mineral water or distilled or highly filtered water,
as this will affect the taste of your coffee and the functioning of your machine
unfavourably.
