Measuring and Programming Water Hardness
Water hardness measuring is very important in order to de ne the machine
descaling frequency and to install the “INTENZA+” water lter (for more
details on the water lter, see next chapter).
To measure the water hardness follow the steps below:
1 Immerse the water hardness test strip (supplied with the machine) in
water for 1 second.
Note:
The test strip can only be used for one single measurement.
2 Wait for one minute.
3 Check how many squares have changed to red, then consult this table.
Note:
The numbers on the water hardness test strip correspond to the water
hardness adjustment settings.
More precisely:
1 = 1 (very soft water)
2 = 2 (soft water)
3 = 3 (hard water)
4 = 4 (very hard water)
The letters correspond to the references that are located at the base of the
“INTENZA+” water lter (see next chapter).

“INTENZA+” Water Filter Installation
We recommend you to install the “INTENZA+” water lter as this prevents
limescale build-up in your machine and preserves a more intense aroma of
your co ee.
Water is a crucial part of every co ee, so it is very important to always have
it professionally ltered. Using the “INTENZA+” water lter will prevent
mineral deposits from building up and improve your water quality.
1 Remove the “INTENZA+” water lter from its packaging, immerse it ver-
tically (with the opening positioned upwards) in cold water and gently
press the sides so as to let the air bubbles out.
2 Set the “INTENZA+” water lter according to the measurements per-
formed (see previous chapter) and indicated on the base of the lter:
A = soft water – equals 1 or 2 on the test strip
B = hard water (standard) – equals 3 on the test strip
C = very hard water – equals 4 on the test strip

DESCALING
The descaling process takes approx. 35 minutes.
Limescale builds up inside the machine during use. It needs to be removed
regularly as it may clog the water and co ee circuit. The machine tells you
when descaling is needed. If the machine display shows this icon, it means
that you need to descale.
Caution:
Not doing this will ultimately make your machine stop working prop-
erly, and in this case repair is NOT covered by your warranty.
Always use the specially formulated descaling solution, since it has been
designed to optimize machine performance.
The descaling solution can be purchased separately. For further details,
please refer to the maintenance products page in this manual.
Warning:
Never drink the descaling solution or any products dispensed until the
cycle has been carried out to the end. Never use vinegar as a descaling
solution.
Note:
During the descaling cycle do not switch o the machine. Otherwise you
will need to restart the descaling cycle from the very beginning.
To execute the descaling cycle, follow the steps below:

Machine actions Causes Solutions
The machine does not
switch on.
The machine is not connected to the
electric network.
Connect the machine to the electric
network.
The power button is on position "0". Check that the power button is set to "I".
The drip tray gets lled al-
though no water is drained.
Sometimes water is drained auto-
matically by the machine into the
drip tray to manage the rinsing of
the circuits and ensure optimum
machine performance.
This is seen as normal machine behaviour.
Co ee is not hot enough. The cups/mugs are cold. Preheat the cups/mugs with hot water or
use the hot water dispensing spout.
The beverage temperature in the
programming menu is set on Low.
Make sure that the temperature in the
programming menu is set on Normal or
High.
You added cold milk to the co ee. Cold milk lowers the temperature of the
nal product. Preheat the milk before
adding it to the beverage.
No hot water is dispensed. The hot water/steam dispensing
spout is clogged or dirty.
Clean the hot water dispensing spout.
Inspect the steam spout to check that the
dispensing spout is not clogged. Make
a hole in the limescale using a pin or a
needle.
The machine does not ll
the cup/mug.
The machine has not been pro-
grammed.
Enter the beverage programming menu
and adjust the co ee length setting ac-
cording to your personal taste for each
type of beverage.
Co ee does not have
enough crema (see note).
The blend is unsuitable, co ee is not
freshly roasted or the grind is too
coarse.
Change co ee blend or adjust the grind
as explained in the “Adjusting the Ceramic

co ee or the co ee grinder settings (see
“Adjusting the Ceramic Co ee Grinder”
chapter).
The machine is adjusting the co ee
grinder for a new kind of co ee
beans or pre-ground co ee.
The machine automatically adjusts itself
after brewing several cups of co ee to
optimise the extraction in relation to the
compactness of the ground co ee.
It may be necessary to brew 2 or 3
products for the co ee grinder to adjust
completely.
This is not a malfunction of the machine.
The machine produces too
humid or too dry co ee
grounds.
Adjust the co ee grinder. Adjusting the ceramic co ee grinder af-
fects the quality of residues.
If the residues are too humid, set a coarser
grind.
If the residues are too dry, set a ner
grind.
