• Your coffee machine is now ready for operation.

2.3 Setting the fineness of the coffee mill

Please note: Adjust the fineness setting only when the coffee mill is in operation.
You can adjust the degree of coarseness in the milling work for the way your coffee
beans have been roasted. We recommend, however, that you leave the coffee mill at
the medium setting.
• Move the milling level adjuster the back (12) to the desired position with the mill run-
ning. The smaller the smaller the point, the finer the coffee is ground. Please note:
– Light roasted beans require a fine setting.
– Dark roasted beans require a coarse setting.

23
3. Preparation
Please note:
☛ The coffee machine was set at the factory so that you could make your first cup
of coffee immediately. However, we recommend that you program the most
important basic settings according to your needs. Therefore, you should first
carry out the steps of the water hardness and the temperature settings men-
tioned in chapter 4. Programming (starting on page 27)
☛ When using the coffee machine for the first time, or if it has not been used for
a long time, the first cup of coffee will not have a full aroma and should not be
drunk.

3.1 Selecting the water quantity

Using the water amount adjustment knob (2) you can adjust the amount of water on
a continuously variable point scale (small cup lower left for less water, large cup lower
right for more water).
• The amount of water can be changed while coffee is being brewed.

3.2 Selecting coffee strength

Depending on your taste, the strength of the coffee can be set at three different levels:
= mild ca 7 gr. coffee grounds (e.g. milk coffee, cappuccino)
= normal ca. 9 gr. coffee grounds (e.g. coffee with cream)
= strong ca. 11 gr. coffee grounds (e.g. espresso, strong coffee)
• As soon as the coffee machine is ready for operation, the display will show the pre-
programmed .
• You can change this by pressing the 1 cup selection knob (4) or the 2 cups selection
knob (5) until the desired coffee strength is displayed.

reverts automatically to the coffee ready mode.

4.1 Water hardness

Depending on the hardness of the water in your region your coffee machine must be
decalcified sooner or later. So that the system can show when decalcification is nec-
essary, you must first enter the correct water hardness setting before using the coffee
machine for the first time.
First test your water with the included test strip:
• Insert the strip into the water briefly and shake excess water off.
• After about one minute, you can read the result from the red dots.
• The following can be used to interpret the reading:
– 1 red dot = 1–7° dH / 1-12.6°fH = Level 1 = «stand-by button» lights up
– 2 red dots = 8–14°dH / 12.7-25.2+fH = Level 2 = «stand-by-» + 1-cup buttons
light up
– 3 red dots = 15–21°dH / 25.3-37.8°fH = Level 3 = «stand-by-» + 1-cup + 2-cups
buttons light up
– 4 red dots = > 22°dH / > 37.8°fH = Level 4 = «stand-by-» + 1-cup + 2-cups
+ steam buttons light up
☛ Set your coffee machine to level 1, if no dots turn red.
The basic factory setting is level 3.
• Using the on/off button (3) switch your coffee machine OFF (stand-by mode).
