2 Preparing and using your IMPRESSA for the first time
Lift the cartridge holder and insert the filter cartridge
into the water tank, applying light pressure.
Close the cartridge holder. It will click into place
audibly.
Fill the water tank with cold, fresh mains water and rein-
sert.
Place a receptacle (at least 500 ml) under the Professional
Cappuccino Frother.
Turn the selection lever of the nozzle to the STEAM posi-
tion
k .
h l Press the maintenance button.
FILTER RINSIN G
. Water will flow out at the nozzle.
You can interrupt the rinsing of the filter at any time by
pressing any button.
The water may be slightly discoloured. This is not harmful
to health, nor does it affect the taste.
Rinsing of the filter automatically stops after approx.
500 ml.
HEATING
appears on the display, and then
READY
appears. The filter is now activated.
The harder the water is, the more frequently the IMPRESSA
needs to be descaled. It is therefore important to adjust the water
hardness.
However, if you are using the CLARIS plus filter cartridge
and have activated the filter, you will not be able to adjust
the water hardness.
The water hardness is adjusted to 16° dH (German hard-
ness) in the factory.
The water hardness can be adjusted between 1° dH and
30° dH. This can also be deactivated, which means that the
IMPRESSA won’t let you know when it has to be des-
caled.
You can find out what the water hardness is by using the Aquadur
®
test strips enclosed in the Welcome Pack.
