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 appli­
ance indicates accurately when the descal­
ing 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 briel y
in water, gently shake off any drips, and
check the result after one minute.

Tips on energy saving
► 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
monitors all safety­relevant 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.
► If the appliance is not being used,
switch it off at the power switch.
► If possible, do not interrupt coffee or
milk froth dispensing. Stopping a proc­
ess prematurely results in higher energy
consumption and the drip tray i lls up
more quickly.
► Always descale the appliance when
Service - descale is displayed (see
“Descaling”) to avoid a build­up of
limescale. Limescale residue results in
higher energy consumption.
