5.4 Setting water hardness
The appliance is set for average water hardness.
A reactive strip (
23
) is provided to identify the
hardness of the water normally used. Proceed as
follows:
1. Immerse the reactive strip briefly (1 second) in
the water then shake lightly to eliminate
excess.
2. Leave for 1 minute then read the value:
1 red zone = low hardness = indicator 1
2 red zones = medium/low hardness = indicator 2
3 red zones = medium/high hardness = indicator 3
4 red zones = high hardness = indicator 4
On the basis of the result, set the appliance as fol-
lows:
1
. Press the washing/descaling button (
41
) and
hold it down
(only the coffee quantity indica-
tor
34
remains lit and now indicates the water
hardness set).
2
. Immediately after wards, hold down the
washing/descaling button (
41
) and at the
same time press the coffee quantity button
(
32
) to select one of the four levels.
The first
indicator corresponds to value 1.
Important:
If you hold button
41
down on its
own for more than 10 seconds, the appliance
will reset to the original values (see paragraph
5.3).
3
. Release the washing button. The new water
hardness value is memorised.

6 THE COFFEE GRINDER
The coffee grinder is preset to an average value suitable for the majority of types of coffee.
If necessary, it can be adjusted
during grinding
using
the special lever (
6
).
The effect of the different setting will be noted only after
having made a further two to three cups of coffee.
Bear in mind that the result of grinding sometimes varies
according to the type of coffee used. It is therefore worth varying the type of coffee until the right one is
found.
7.1 Foreign bodies safety device
Even with the best coffees, a small stone may sometimes find its way among the coffee beans. If it ends up in
the coffee grinder, you will hear a loud noise.
Turn the appliance off immediately.
If the appliance is not turned off at once, a safety device trips and shuts down the grinder.
fine ground
=
strong coffee
coarse ground
=
mild coffee
To reset the appliance, proceed as follows:
• Remove the coffee beans.
A
. Rotate the coffee bean container into the removal position and lift off (indi-
cator
34
flashes).
B
. Rotate the grinding regulation lever (
6
) anticlockwise until it stops.
C.
Remove the spring and extract the stone. During this phase, it is preferable to
use a vacuum cleaner to remove the stone and clean the grinder of ground cof-
fee and dust.
• Replace the coffee grinder by carrying out the
above operations in reverse order, replacing
the spring, returning the grinding regulation
lever (
6
) to the original position and repositio-
ning the coffee bean container.
