NOTE: If the descaling cycle is interrupted before completion, the appliance continues to display the descale
message and the program must be started again from the beginning. Empty the water tank, rinse, fill with clean
water and run off a cup of hot water.
IMPORTANT: FAILURE TO DESCALE THE APPLIANCE REGULARLY INVALIDATES THE WARRANTY.
17.4 Changing coffee temperature
To change the temperature of the coffee, proceed as follows:
•
Press the P button, then press the button (corresponding to the symbol flashing on the display)
repeatedly until the menu arrow is on:
HIGH TEMPERATURE
• Press the button (corresponding to the SET symbol flashing on the display) until the appliance dis-
plays the required coffee temperature. Note: To obtain hotter coffee, see also section 6, note 3, page 10.
• Press the OK button to confirm the temperature selected.
• Press the P button (corresponding to the ESC symbol flashing on the display) to exit programming mode
or to change other parameters.
17.5 Changing the length of time the appliance remains on
The appliance is factory preset to go off automatically one hour after the last coffee has been made.
The number of hours the appliance remains on (max. 3) can be increased as follows:
•
Press the P button, then press the button (corresponding to the symbol flashing on the display)
repeatedly until the menu arrow is on:
OFF AFTER 1 HOUR..
• Press the button (corresponding to the SET symbol flashing on the display) to change the number of
hours the appliance remains on.
• Press the OK button to confirm the value.
• Press the P button (corresponding to the ESC symbol flashing on the display) to exit programming mode
or to change other parameters.
17.6 Setting water hardness
The descale message is displayed after the appliance has been operated for a factory set period of time calcu-
lated on the basis of the maximum quantity of lime scale which may be contained in the water used.
If necessary, this period of operation can be extended, making descaling less frequent, by programming the
appliance based on the actual lime content in the water used.
Proceed as follows:
•
Remove the "Total Hardness Test" strip (enclosed on page 2) from its packaging then dip it fully in the water
for a few seconds and remove. After about a minute 1, 2, 3 or 4 red squares develop.
• Press the P button, then press the button (corresponding to the flashing symbol on the display)
repeatedly until the menu arrow is on:
WATER HARDNESS 4
• Press the button (corresponding to the SET symbol flashing on the display) repeatedly until the num-
ber coincides with the number of red squares on the test strip (for example, if there are 3 red squares on
the test strip, press the button until WATER HARDNESS 3 is displayed).
• Press the OK button to confirm the value. The coffee maker is now programmed to provide the descaling
warning when necessary, based on the actual hardness of the water.
• Press the P button (corresponding to the ESC symbol flashing on the display) to exit programming mode
or to change other parameters.
17.7 Resetting factory default settings
If you change the original values, the factory default values can be reset as follows:
•
Press the P button, then press the button (corresponding to the symbol flashing on the display)
repeatedly until the menu arrow is on:
RESET TO DEFAULT NO
• Press the button (corresponding to the SET symbol flashing on the display) and the appliance dis-
plays “RESET TO DEFAULT YES”.
