for example water deposits remaining. Rinse the
appliance twice with the maximum amount of water
and without a filter bag or ground coffee, in order to
clean it.
• For the best coffee enjoyment and convenient use,
the appliance is equipped with various features.
These features are explained below.

3. Set water hardness

Depending on water hardness lime scale may build up
in the appliance. This increases the appliance's energy
consumption as lime scale on the heating element can
prevent the water heating effectively. To avoid damage
the appliance must be descaled regularly. The descaling
display helps you in this. If the CALC-button  is
permanently lit this shows that the appliance needs to
be descaled.
The appliance is pre-set for a high level of water
hardness (level 4). You can find out the level of water
hardness in your area by asking your local water
provider or by using water hardness measuring strips
available in the shops. For softer water the descaling
display can be adjusted to descale less often:
• Hold down the CALC button  for longer than 2
seconds. The CALC button starts to flash. In the
factory settings the CALC button flashes briefly four
times with the following pauses ............
• You can set the water hardness at three further
levels. Each time you briefly press the CALC button
 the display changes to flashing one, two or three
times, each time followed by a pause

• The settings and display are shown in the following
table 1.
• Once you have set the desired hardness level, again
hold the CALC button  down for longer than two
seconds. The light goes off and your settings are
saved.
Please note:
1. Water hardness cannot be programmed while
brewing.
2. The last water hardness level chosen remains even
after removing the power cable.

4. Making coffee

• Ensure that the appliance is connected to the power
source.
• Open the lid on the water tank. 
