Important!

• Do not use solvents, abrasive detergents or alcohol to clean the coee machine.

• Do not use metal objects to remove encrustations or coee deposits as they could scratch metal or plastic surfaces.

• If the appliance is not used for more than a week, before using it again, we recommend you perform a rinse cycle.

Danger!

• While cleaning, never immerse the coee maker in water. It is an electrical appliance.

• Before cleaning the outside of the appliance, turn it o, unplug from the mains socket and allow to cool.

7. WATER HARDNESS

7.1 Water hardness

The descale light (B3) comes on after a period of time established according to water hardness. The machine can also be pro-

grammed according to the actual hardness of the water supply in the various regions, in which case descaling may be required less

frequently.

1. Remove the“TOTAL HARD-

NESS TEST” indicator paper

(C5) from its pack.

2. Immerse the paper

completely in a glass of

water for one second.

3. Remove the paper from

the water and shake

lightly.

4. Set the appliance as indi-

cated in section“3. Menù

settings”.

After about a minute, 1, 2, 3, or 4 red squares form, depending

on the hardness of the water. Each square corresponds to one

level.
