Important: The selected amount
in ml is an approximate value and
can vary signicantly as a result of
crema forming, the grind setting or
the type of milk used, etc.
Adjusting the grinding unit
The rotary selector (16) on the top of the
appliance adjusts the degree of grinding
from coarse to ne as required.

Warning:
Adjust the grinding unit only
while it is running. Otherwise the
appliance may be damaged.
1. Deploy the appliance fully
(see “Deployment system”).
2. In the drink selection menu, select
Espresso.
3. Press
start stop (8).
4. While the grinding unit is running, adjust
the rotary selector (16) from ne to
coarse or back as required.
The new setting will not become
apparent until after the second
cup of coffee.
For dark roast coffee beans,
choose a ner grind, for lighter
beans a coarser grind.
Checking the water hardness
The water hardness setting can be adjusted
on this appliance. It is important to set the
water hardness correctly, so that the appli-
ance indicates accurately when the descal-
ing programme should be run. The factory
setting for the water hardness is 4.
You can check the water hardness using
the enclosed test strip or by asking your
local water supplier. Dip the test strip briey
in water, gently shake off any drips, and
check the result after one minute.

Tips on energy saving
► Press on off (2) to switch the
appliance to “energy saving mode”. The
appliances uses very little power when
in “energy saving mode”, but monitors
all safety-relevant functions so as to
avoid damage.
X After one hour (factory setting), the ap-
pliance switches off automatically and
does not consume any more energy.
The default time of one hour can be
shortened (see “Auto off after” under
“Displaying settings”).
X If the appliance is not being used,
switch it off at the power switch.
► If possible, do not interrupt coffee or
milk froth dispensing. Stopping a proc-
ess prematurely results in higher energy
consumption and the drip tray lls up
more quickly.
► Always descale the appliance when
Service - descale is displayed (see
“Descaling”) to avoid a build-up of
limescale. Limescale residue results in
higher energy consumption.
