2. Before first use:

• Ensure that the power supply in your home  

corresponds to that on the model plate on the  

base of the appliance.

• Connect the appliance to a power source. Unused 

cable can be stored in the base of the appliance. 



• Set the current time using the buttons “h” and “m”



 for longer than two seconds

• All appliances have been tested during production 

to ensure they work perfectly. Therefore there may 

be 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 



 and by briefly  

pressing the m-button 



 set the desired level of 

water hardness. The hardness setting will then  

show in the display

• Once you have set the desired level of water  

hardness, let go of the CALC-button.  

Your settings are now saved.

• The settings and display are shown in the table.
