Checking the water hardness

The water hardness setting can be adjusted
on this appliance. It is important to set the
water hardness correctly, so that the
appliance indicates accurately when the
descaling programme should be run. The
factory setting for the water hardness is 4.
You can check the water hardness using
the enclosed test strip or by asking your
local water supplier. Dip the test strip briely
in water, gently shake off any drips, and
check the result after one minute.
Water hardness levels and settings:
Level Water hardness
German (°dH) French (°fH)
1 1-7
2 8-14
3 15-21
4 22-30

Tips on energy saving

X The fully automatic espresso machine
switches to "energy saving mode" auto-
matically after one hour (factory setting).
The appliances uses very little power
when in "energy saving mode", but moni-
tors all safety-relevant functions so as to
avoid damage. The default time of one
hour can be shortened (see "Auto off
after" under "Displaying settings"). The
appliance then uses even less power.
X If the appliance is not being used,
switch it off at the power switch.
X If possible, do not interrupt coffee
or milk froth dispensing. Stopping a
process prematurely results in higher
energy consumption and the drip tray
ills up more quickly.
X Always descale the appliance when

limescale. Limescale residue results in
higher energy consumption.
