Tip: To keep the coffee beans at
their best, store them in a sealed
container in a cool place.

7.2 Checking the water hard-
ness
It is important to set the water hard-
ness correctly so that your appliance
indicates in good time that it needs
descaling. You can use the enclosed
test strip to check the water hardness
or ask your local water company.
Briefly dip the test strip in fresh tap
1.
water.
Allow the water to drain off the test

strip.
Read the water hardness off the

test strip after 1 minute.

limescale deposits and reduce impur-
ities in the water.
