KRUPS Espresseria Automatic
12 Use and maintenance / SERIE EA 80xx
3 First use of your Automatic Espresseria
Installing the appliance
3.1 Before first use
Danger : Connect the appliance to a mains socket of 230V that is earthed.
Failure to do so means that you run the risk of fatal injury due to electricity!
Respect the safety guidelines (see point 1.3).
Place your machine on a stable, flat, heat-
resistant surface. Ensure that the location
chosen is sufficiently ventilated as the
appliance gives off heat.
Before using the appliance for the first
time, check the hardness of your water
so that you can adapt the appliance to
suit. This operation is also to be carried
out when you use your machine in a
place where the hardness of the water is
different or if you notice a difference in
the hardness of the water.
To check the water hardness, use the
stick supplied with your machine or
contact your local water authority.
Fill a glass of water and immerse the stick in
it for several seconds.
Wait for a minute before reading the water
hardness.
The red zones on the stick indicate the de-
gree of hardness: no red zone = class 0,
One red zone = class 1, etc. (see illustration).
The hardness class observed (from 0 to 4) will
be requested during the initial set up of the
machine described in point 3.3 in the "water
hardness" sub-menu. Use the data in the
table below for this purpose:
Degree of
hardness
Class 0 Class 1 Class 2 Class 3 Class 4
° dH
< 3° > 4° > 7° > 14° > 21°
° e
< 3,75° > 5° > 8,75° > 17,5° > 26,25°
