The coffee machine must be
cleaned thoroughly (see "Cleaning
and care") before you fill it with water
and coffee beans.
It is vital that you programme in
the water hardness level of your
water (see "Settings: Customising
your machine - Setting the water
hardness").
Filling the water container
The quality of the water plays
an important part in the
overall quality of the coffee.
If the machine is plumbed into the
mains drinking water supply, the water
container will fill automatically . Empty
out the water container every day.
If filling the water container manually
(instead of using the plumbed in
water supply), do not use hot water
or other liquids as these could
damage the machine. Only use
cold, fresh tap water and fill the
machine every day. Do not on any
account use mineral water. Mineral
water will cause serious limescale
deposits to build up in your machine
and damage it.
^
Open the front of the machine.
^ Pull the water container forwards to
remove it.
^ Remove the lid, and fill the water
container with cold, clean tap water
up to the "Max." mark.
A valve at the front of the water
container will ensure that water
cannot escape.
^
Put the lid back on and replace the
container in the machine, pushing it
right in until it clicks into position.
The water container must click into
position and sit in the machine
correctly to ensure the valve is
sealed. If you do not hear it click into
position or the water container
protrudes slightly or does not sit flat
on the floor, check whether the
surface that the water container sits
on is dirty and clean it if necessary.
