Measuring The Water Hardness; Filter Installation - WMF PERFECTION 800L Serie Mode D'emploi

6.1| MEASURING THE WATER
HARDNESS
You must set your machine depending on the
hardness of your water, from 0 to 4. To do this,
follow these instructions:
1| Before using the appliance for the first time,
check the hardness of your water so that you
can set the appliance accordingly. This opera-
The details of the classes are given in the table below:
DEGREE OF HARDNESS CLASSE 0 CLASSE 1
° dH < 3° > 4°
° e < 3.75° > 5°
° f < 5.4° > 7.2°
Appliance setting 0 – very soft 1 – soft
3| Fill a glass of water and insert a strip (figure
B1 – B2).
4| Put the strip back out of the glass. After 1
minute read the level of water hardness (fig-
ure B3 – B4).
5| Indicate the number of red zones when con-
figuring the appliance (figure B6).

6.2| FILTER INSTALLATION

When switching on for the first time, the appli-
ance asks if you want to install the filter. If you
wish to do so, select YES and follow the instruc-
tions on the screen.
1| Install the filter in the appliance.
2| ONLY screw the filter into the bottom of the
water tank using the accessory supplied with
the filter (figure A4 – A5).
17
3| Set the month when the filter is fitted (posi-
tion 1 on the illustration, left side figure in
the opening) by turning the grey ring located
tion should also be carried out when you use
your machine in a place where the hardness
of the water is different or if you notice a
difference in the hardness of the water.
2| To check the water hardness, use the test
strip supplied with your machine or con-
22
tact your local water authority.
CLASSE 2 CLASSE 3 CLASSE 4
> 7° > 14° > 21°
> 8.75° > 17.5° > 26.25°
> 12.6° > 25.2° > 37.8°
2 – average 3 – hard 4 – very hard
hardness
on the upper end of the filter. The month
when the filter should be replaced is indi-
cated in position 2 on the following illustra-
tion (right side figure in the opening).
4| Please make sure to fill up the water tank
after filter installation.
5| Put a container of 0.6 l under the steam exit (fig-
ure A8). The machine must be primed whether the
filter has been installed or not. This means that
the water circuits have to be filled. To do this, fol-
low the instructions provided on the screen.
6| The machine will begin by filling the water
circuits, preheating the circuits and then will
complete an automatic rinse. The screen will
inform you when installation is complete.

7| IMPORTANT INFORMATION
BEFORE PREPARING DRINKS
7.1| PREPARING THE APPLIANCE
1| Remove and fill the water tank (figure
16
A3 – A6).
2| Replace the water tank (figure A7).
16
3| Remove the lid of the coffee bean container
and add coffee beans (max. 250 g) (figure
1
A12 – A13).
4| Replace the lid of the coffee bean container
(figure A14).
1
CAUTION
Do not fill the water tank with hot
16
water, milk or any other liquid.
CAUTION
Never put ground coffee in the cof-
fee container. It is recommended that
you do not use oily, caramelized or flavored cof-
fee beans for this appliance. These kinds of
beans may damage the appliance. Check that
the coffee beans do not contain any foreign
particles such as grit, as any damage caused by
the presence of foreign particles will invalidate
the guarantee. Do not put water into the coffee
bean container.
7.2| PREPARING THE GRINDER
Depending on the drinks chosen and the
strength of coffee selected, your machine will
automatically adjust the quantity of ground
coffee.
You can also set the strength of your cof-
fee by adjusting how finely the coffee beans
are ground. In general, the finer the coffee is
ground, the stronger and creamier the coffee
will be.
It may also vary according to the type of coffee
used. We recommend a fine setting for espres-
sos and a coarser setting for coffees.
Adjust the fineness of grinding by moving the
slider of the coffee grounds fineness adjuster
which is located on the topside of the appliance
(figure A14).
CAUTION
On new product the grinder position is
a factory setting and should not be
changed during 30 recipes to let the grinder set
in its optimal configuration. However if the cof-
fee dispenses too slowly you can move the slider
1 notch towards the right direction for more
coarseness.
NOTE
This setting should be applied during
grinding notch by notch. It is advised to
move 1 notch at a time, you will notice a pro-
nounced difference in taste after 3 recipes. If
you set the grinder towards "fine" more than 1
notch at a time an alert screen might ask you to
reset it coarser.
Setting the fineness of grinding is useful when
you change the type of coffee or if you want
to make coffee that is more or less strong.
However, it is not advised to use this setting
systematically.
