1 Preparing and using for the first time
When using the machine for the first time, you can choose whether
you want to operate IMPRESSA with or without the CLARIS filter
cartridge Blue. If the water hardness is 10° dH or more, we recom-
mend using the filter cartridge. If you do not know the hardness of
your water, you can find this out first (see Chapter 1 ‘Preparing and
using for the first time – Determining the water hardness’).
If the machine is operated with a defective mains cable, there is a
danger of potentially fatal electric shock.
T Never use a machine which is damaged or has a defective
mains cable.
Precondition: The bean container has been filled.
