when they are produced. Some residual water may
be left behind after this test. Rinse the appliance
twice with the maximum amount of water without
a coee filter or ground coee in order to clean it.
To do this, fill the water tank  up to the 10 cup
level marker, then press the setting for using ground
coee  and turn the appliance on .
•The appliance has a variety of features for the best
coee enjoyment and ease of use. These features
are explained below.
3. Set water hardness
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 eectively. 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
