Note: This machine has been tested with coffee. Although it has been carefully cleaned, there
may be some coffee residues left. We guarantee, however, that the machine is absolutely
new.
First installation
To prepare your coffee machine for use, you need to perform a few simple steps such as
filling the water circuit and activating the AquaClean filter. These steps are shown in the
separate quick start guide.
For the best-tasting coffee, you need to brew 5 coffees initially to allow the machine to
complete its self-adjustment.
The machine has been set up to get the best taste out of your coffee beans. Therefore we
advise you not to adjust the grinder settings until you have brewed 100-150 cups (approx. 1
month of usage).
AquaClean filter
The AquaClean filter is designed to reduce limescale deposits in your coffee machine and
provide filtered water to preserve the aroma and flavor of each cup of coffee. If you use a
series of 8 AquaClean filters as indicated by the machine and in this user manual, you don't
have to descale your machine for up to 5000 cups. With each filter you can enjoy up to 625
cups, depending on the selected coffee varieties and the rinsing and cleaning frequencies.
Preparing the AquaClean filter for activation
Before you place the AquaClean filter in the water tank, you need to prepare it for use:
1 Shake the filter for about 5 seconds (Fig. 2).
2 Immerse the filter upside down in a jug with cold water and wait until no more air bubbles
come out (Fig. 3).
3 Push the filter onto the filter connection to the lowest possible point (Fig. 4).
Activating the AquaClean filter
You need to activate every new AquaClean filter that you use. By activating the AquaClean
filter, the machine monitors the capacity of the AquaClean filter and the number of filters
used. There are 3 ways to activate the AquaClean filter.
1. Activating the AquaClean filter during first installation
After turning on for the first time, the machine guides you through the first installation steps
such as filling the water tank, filling the water circuit and activating the AquaClean filter.
