Water hardness: The water hardness
setting can be adjusted on this appliance.
It is important to set the water hardness
correctly, so that the appliance indicates
accurately when the descaling programme
should be run. The factory setting for the
water hardness is 4.
You can check the water hardness using
the enclosed test strip or by asking your
local water supplier. If a water softener is
installed in the house, please set the water
hardness to level 3.
Dip the test strip briefly in water, gently
shake off any drips, and check the result
after one minute.

Adjusting the
grinding unit
The rotary selector (3) adjusts the grind
settings from coarse to fine.
A Warning!
Adjust the grinding unit only while it is
running! Otherwise the appliance may
be damaged. Do not reach into the
grinding unit.
● While the grinding unit is running, adjust
the rotary selector (3) from fine (a: Turn
anticlockwise) to coarse (b: Turn clock-
wise) as required.
Note: The new setting will not become
apparent until after the second cup of
coffee.
Note: If the message Adjust coarseness!
appears in the display, the grind setting
for the coffee beans is too fine. Adjust the
grinding unit to a coarser setting.
Tip: For dark roast coffee beans, choose a
finer grind, for lighter beans a coarser grind.
