Before using the machine for the first time, you will need to complete an initial set up procedure to ensure the machine will
operate properly. You will be asked to set the water hardness level, language, clock, date, and a few other options. The digita
l
display will walk you through each step and the initial set up takes just a few minutes. Please note, if you disconnect the
machine from the power source, you will need to complete parts of this process again.
BEFORE FIRST USE

MEASURING WATER HARDNESS
To optimize the taste of your coffee and the lifetime of your appliance, we recommend that you use the Claris – Aqua Filter
System cartridge sold as an accessory (F088).
It consists of an anti-scale substance and active carbon which reduces the chlorine, impurities, lead, copper and pesticides in
the water. The minerals and trace elements in the water, however, are preserved.
By filtering the water with the
Claris – Aqua Filter System car-
tridge, you can reduce:
Carbonate hardness – up to 75%*
Chlorine – up to 85%*
Lead – up to 90%*
Copper – up to 95%*
Aluminium – up to 67%*
CLARIS – AQUA FILTER SYSTEM CARTRIDGE F088
* indications supplied by the manufacturer
F 088
Installing
the cartridge in
the machine:
Screw the filtering
cartridge into the
bottom of the
water tank using
the spanner
provided.
Mechanism which memo-
rises the month in which the
cartridge was installed and
changed (after a maximum
of two months).
Your appliance will indicate when the Claris – Aqua Filter System cartridge needs changing by displaying a mes-
sage. The Claris cartridge needs to be replaced approximately every 13 gallons/50 litres of water or at least every
two months. Set the hardness of the water to 0 if you use a Claris cartridge.
INSTALLING THE FILTER (CLARIS – AQUA FILTER SYSTEM CARTRIDGE)
To prime the cartridge correctly, follow this procedure every time you install the filter.
Put a
17 oz/0.5 l
