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.

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
Service - descale
is displayed (see
“Descaling”) to avoid a build-up of
limescale. Limescale residue results in
higher energy consumption.
Daily maintenance
and cleaning
Risk of electric shock
Before cleaning the appliance,
switch it off at the power switch.
Do not use a steam cleaner.
Daily maintenance
1. Wipe the outside of the appliance with
a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive
cloths or cleaning agents.
2. Do not use alcohol-based or spirit-
based cleaning agents on the high-
gloss surfaces.
3. Always remove any limescale, coffee,
milk or descaling luid residue immedi-
ately. Such residue can cause corrosion.
4. Rinse out the water tank (12) with water
only.
5. Take off the grate (24). Pull out the drip
tray (25). Take off the drip tray panel
(27). Empty out any water and coffee

in the dishwasher. Do not put the grate
(24) or the drip tray panel (27) in the
dish washer.
