Before installing the coffee maker, determine the water hardness. Call the local water company and ask for the
water hardness level of the water supplied to the building where the coffee maker will be installed.
For Model E24CM75GSS (T
ank Model):
1. If the water hardness level is above four grains per gallon (4 gpg) you must use filtered water with a hardness of
4 gpg or less. Do not use distilled water.
2. If the water hardness level is below 4 gpg, you may use tap water in the coffee system. Filtered water is
recommended for better taste.
For Model E24CM76GSS (Plumbed Model):
1. If the water hardness is above 4 grains per gallon (4gpg) contact a qualified water treatment specialist. Have a
water treatment system installed that lowers the water hardness level to 4 gpg or less.
2. Regardless of the type of water treatment system installed, ELECTROLUX HIGHLY RECOMMENDS you install
an Electrolux ACCFILT-24 filter system. (See Figure 2-5) The coffee maker requires periodic decalcification that
must be performed regardless of the water hardness level. The filter head in the kit is required to perform this
process for model E24CM76GSS. Decalcification will be MUCH SIMPLER with the Electrolux ACCFILT-24 filter
system already installed. In addition, the filter will improve water taste.
3. Electrolux does not recommend installation of a reverse osmosis filtration system. Reverse osmosis systems
can cause low water pressure. When the water pressure is low, the coffee water volume level can fluctuate and
the water pump may make a “hammering” sound.
