• The appliance has a variety of features for the best
coffee enjoyment and ease of use. These features
are explained below.

3. Set water hardness

GB
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.

4.1 Using coffee beans

for standard coffee. This setting may give the coffee
a slightly bitter character. If a coarser setting is
selected the coffee will be less bitter.
