5.6 Measuring water hardness
The (B3) indicator light comes on following a predetermined
period of operation that depends on a water hardness setting.
The machine can also be programmed according to the actual
hardness of the local water supply, in which case descaling may
be required less frequently.
• Remove the water hardness test indicator paper (A19)
from its pack.
• Immerse the paper completely in a glass of water for one
second.
• Remove the paper from the water and shake lightly. After
about a minute, 1, 2, 3, or 4 red squares form, depending
on the hardness of the water.

If the machine is not used for more than one week, before using
it again, we strongly recommend you perform a rinse cycle.
The following parts of the machine must be hand cleaned and
dry regularly:
drip tray (A8): the drip tray should be emptied and
•
cleaned after each use or when the level indicator (red)
rises through the metal grid.
Remove the drip tray, empty the water and clean the drip
tray with a cloth, dry and then reassemble the drip tray.
cups filter (A15), (A16): After using the appliance, always
•
rinse the filters under abundant running water. Use the
brush (A9) to clean (fig. 14).
• coffee spout (A7): After every 200 coffees, rinse the cof-
fee spout by delivering about 0.5 l of water from the coffee
spout (press the
coffee).
water tank (A2): Clean the water tank regularly (about
•
once a week) and whenever you replace the water softener
filter (if present) with a damp cloth and a little mild wash-
ing up liquid, especially internally in the sensor area (fig. 13);
rinse with running water.
steam wand (A5): After every use, remove with a soft
•
damp cloth any milk residues from the steam wand. Lift the
steam wand and place it in "OFF" (auto clean) position (fig.
10). The appliance delivers water from the steam wand.
Wait that the steam wand cool down and open the hole of
the nozzle with the cleaning needle (A10) (fig. 14).
