IMPORTANT: For model E24CM76GSS, regardless of the water hardness
measured, Electrolux highly recommends installation of the Electrolux filter kit. The

1) Make sure you are using the right type of water.
Call your local water company. Ask them for the water hardness level of the water
supplied to the building where your coffee maker will be installed.
If the water hardness level is above four grains per gallon (4 gpg):
For model E24CM76GSS, contact a water treatment specialist and have a water
treatment system installed to reduce the water hardness level to 4 gpg or less
according the installation instructions.
For model E24CM75GSS, pour only filtered water with a hardness level of 4 gpg or
less into the water tank. Do not use distilled water.
2) Flush the system to remove bacteria that may have accumulated during storage and
shipping (See page 39).
