Setting the water hardness

We advise you to adjust the water hardness setting to the water hardness level in your region for optimal
performance and a longer lifetime of the machine. This also prevents you from having to descale the
machine too often. The default water hardness setting is 4: hard water.
Use the water hardness test strip supplied in the box to determine the water hardness
in your region:
1 Immerse the water hardness test strip in tap water or hold it under the tap for 1 second (Fig. 12).
2 Wait 1 minute. The number of squares on the test strip that turn red indicate the water hardness (Fig.
13).
Set the machine to the correct water hardness:
1 Tap the Settings
2 Select the water hardness level. The number of red squares selected on the display should be the same as
the number of red squares on the test strip (Fig. 14).
3 When you have set the correct water hardness, tap the confirmation

Adjusting the grind setting

You can change the coffee strength with the grind setting knob inside the bean container. The lower the
grind setting, the finer the coffee beans are ground and the stronger the coffee becomes. There are 12
different grind settings you can choose from.
The machine has been set up to get the best taste out of your coffee beans. Therefore we advise you not to
adjust the grind setting until you have brewed 100-150 cups (approx. 1 month of use).
You need to brew 2 to 3 drinks before you can taste the full difference.
Do not turn the grind setting knob more than one notch at a time to prevent damage to the grinder.
1 Tap the Beans icon in the main menu.
2 Tap on ¨Grinder¨.
3 Watch the how to video.

Restoring factory settings

AquaClean water filter

Your machine is AquaClean enabled. You can place the AquaClean water filter in the water tank to preserve
the taste of your coffee. It also diminishes the need for descaling by reducing limescale build-up in your
machine. You can purchase an AquaClean water filter from your local or online retailer or from authorized
service centers.
