2. Before first use
• Ensure that the mains voltage in your home corre-
sponds to that indicated on the identification label
on the base of the appliance.
• Connect the appliance to the mains power. Cable
which is not required, can be stored in the cable
spool .
• Set the current time using the buttons 'h' and 'm' .
It is possible to speed this up by holding in the
respective button. The display light can be turned
on or off by holding down the h and m buttons 
for longer than 2 seconds.
• All appliances are tested for fault free operation
when they are produced. Some residual water may
be left behind after this test. Rinse the appliance
twice with the maximum amount of water without
a coffee filter or ground coffee in order to clean it.
To do this, fill the water tank  up to the 10 cup
level marker, then press the setting for using ground
coffee  and turn the appliance on .
• The appliance has a variety of features for the best
coffee enjoyment and ease of use. These features
are explained below.
3. Set water hardness
Depending on water hardness lime scale may build up
in the appliance. This increases the appliance's energy
consumption as lime scale on the heating element
can prevent the water heating effectively. To avoid
damage the appliance must be descaled regularly. The
descaling display helps you in this. If the CALC-button 
is permanently lit this shows that the appliance needs
to be descaled.
The appliance is pre-set for a high level of water
hardness (level 4). You can find out the level of water
hardness in your area by asking your local water
provider or by using water hardness measuring strips
available in the shops. For softer water the descaling
display can be adjusted to descale less often.
• Hold down the CALC-button  and by briefly
pressing the m-button  set the desired level of
water hardness. The hardness setting will then
show in the display
• Once you have set the desired level of water
hardness, let go of the CALC-button.
Your settings are now saved.
• The settings and display are shown in the table.
