Measuring and programming water hardness
Measuring water hardness is very important for defining the frequency in
which the machine has to be descaled and to install the “INTENZA+”water
filter (for more detail on the water filter see next chapter).
To measure the water hardness follow the steps below:
1 Immerse the water hardness tester strip (supplied with the machine) in
water for 1 second.
Note:
The tester strip can only be used for one measurement.
2 Wait for one minute.
3 Check how many squares have changed the colour to red and then
consult the table.
Note:
The numbers on the water hardness tester 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 filter. (see next chapter for this).
4 Press the “ ”button and scroll the pages by pressing the “ ”button
until the following icon is displayed.
Note:
The machine is supplied with standard water hardness setting, suitable for
most of the types of water.
5 Press the “ ”button to increase the value or the “ ”button to decre-
ase the value.
6 Press the “ ”button to confirm the setting.

“INTENZA+” water filter installation
We recommend you to install the “INTENZA+”water filter as this prevents
lime scale to build up in your machine and preserves a more intense aroma
to your coffee.
You can purchase separately the “INTENZA+”water filter. Please refer to the
maintenance products page in this user manual for further details.
Water is a crucial part of every coffee, so it’s most important to always have
it professionally filtered. Using the “INTENZA+”water filter will prevent
mineral deposits from building up and improve your water quality.
1 Remove the small white filter from the water tank and store it in a dry
place.
2 Remove the “INTENZA+” water filter 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.
3 Set the “INTENZA+” water filter according to the measurements perfor-
med (see previous chapter) and indicated on the base of the filter:
A = Soft water – equals 1 or 2 on the tester strip
B = Hard water (standard) – equals 3 on the tester strip
C = Very hard water – equals 4 on the tester strip

DESCALING
The descaling process takes approx. 35 minutes.
Lime scale builds up inside the machine during use. It needs to be remo-
ved regularly as it may clog the water and coffee circuit of your machine.
The machine tells you when descaling is needed. If the machine display
shows the CALC CLEAN icon, it means that you need to descale.
Caution:
Not doing this will ultimately make your machine stop working pro-
perly, and in this case repair is NOT covered by your warranty.
Use the Descaling solution only. Its formula has been designed to ensure
better machine performance.
You can purchase separately the Descaling solution. Please refer to the
maintenance products page in this user manual for further details.
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
decalcifier.
Note:
During the descaling cycle do not switch off the machine. If this has hap-
pened you have to restart the descaling cycle to fully complete it. It will
restart from the point the descaling cycle had previously been left.
