If you switch the coffee machine off
with the "On/Off" key (Fig. 3, h)
after you have finished making coffee,
the machine carries out a flush pro-
gram, during which time the "Empty
grounds container" indicator (Fig. 3, j)
flashes for about 1 minute as a
reminder. If you switch the coffee
machine off with the "On/Off" key (Fig.
3, h) while a function is running,
all functions are immediately switched
off.
4.5 Setting the Water Hardness
After first placing the machine in use
or when using a different water quality
you should set the machine to the
water hardness level corresponding to
the local water hardness. You can use
the included test card to determine the
water hardness, or contact your local
water supply company.
Determining water hardness
0 Dip the test strip in cold water for
around 1 second. Shake off the excess
water, and gauge the hardness by
means of the pink bands.
No pink bands or one pink band:
Hardness 1, soft
up to 1.24 mmol/l, or
up to 7° German hardness, or
up to 12.6° French hardness
Two pink bands:
Hardness 2, medium hard
up to 2.5 mmol/l, or
up to 14° German hardness, or
up to 25.2° French hardness
Three pink bands:
Hardness 3, hard
up to 3.7 mmol/l, or
up to 21° German hardness, or
up to 37.8° French hardness
Four pink bands:
Hardness 4, very hard
over 3.7 mmol/l or
over 21° German hardness, or
over 37.8° French hardness
Setting and saving the water
hardness level
You can set 4 hardness levels. The cof-
fee machine is factory-set to hardness

5 Making Coffee with Beans
The following process for making cof-
fee with beans runs completely auto-
matically: Grinding, portioning,
pressing, pre-brewing, brewing, ejec-
tion of the coffee grounds.
The facility to select the grinding tex-
ture and the coffee quantity allows
you to individually set up the coffee
machine to your own personal taste.

Ensure that you use only pure coffee
beans with no caramelised or aroma-
tised additives. Do not use frozen
beans.
