7.3 Programming the water hardness
The appliance is pre-programmed for an aver-
age value of water hardness of 3, which is the
correct setting for normal water conditions.
Depending on the water hardness of the avail-
able water, the water hardness should be adjust-
ed on the appliance.
Briefly dip the test strips delivered with the
appliance into the water (1 second) and gently
shake off excess water. The test result can be
read off after one minute.
Test strip diagram
1 zone red = hardness 1 = value 1 (500 liters)
2 zones red = hardness 2 = value 2 (300 liters)
3 zones red = hardness 3 = value 3 (150 liters)
4 zones red = hardness 4 = value 4 ( 80 liters)
Depending on the result
the value should be
adjusted as follows:
a) Press the cleaning / descaling button (23)
and keep it depressed.
Now only the LED
indicator for the coffee quantity setting is lit.
b) With the cleaning button depressed, you
can now change the value in 4 steps
with the coffee quantity button (21)
where the first LED indicator corre-
sponds to the value 1.
The new value is
memorized on releasing the cleaning button.
Note:
As soon as the corresponding quantity of
water has flowed through the appliance, the
descaling indicator is lit and the appliance
should now be descaled in accordance with
point 10.0 although coffee can still be made.
8.0 Adjustment of the grinder
The grinder is set at the factory to be suitable
for most types of coffee. It should only be
adjusted if necessary. With the grinder running
adjust the grinding grade with the lever.
Recommended grade:
middle position.
Important:
The grinding grade must only be
adjusted with the grinder running.
Note:
If possible, avoid extreme settings. It is
preferable to first try another type of coffee (not
every type of coffee is suitable).
Please note that the adjustment of the grinder is
only effective after one or two further cups of
coffee.
