wand and the warning light ashes slowly, turn the control dial back to the
coffee bean icon.

Installing the Intenza+ water lter
We advise you to install the Intenza+ water lter as this prevents scale build-up in
your machine. You can buy the Intenza+ water lter separately. For more details,
see chapter ‘Guarantee and support’, section ‘Ordering maintenance products’.
1Remove the small white lter from the water tank and store it in a dry place.
Note: Please keep the small white lter for future use. You will need it for the
descaling process.
2Remove the lter from its packaging and immerse it in cold water with the
opening pointing upwards. Press the sides of the lter gently to let out the air
bubbles.
3Turn the knob of the lter to the setting that corresponds to the water hardness
of the area you live in.
ASoft water
BHard water (default)
CVery hard water
Note: You can test the water hardness with a water hardness test strip.
9Fill the water tank with fresh water up to the MAX indication.
-The machine is ready for use.
Note: The rst cups of coffee may be a bit watery, this is normal. The machine
needs to complete a few brewing cycles to optimise its settings.

Using the machine
To guarantee perfect espresso, the machine regularly rinses its inner circuit with
water. This automatic rinsing cycle takes place 15 minutes after the appliance
switches to standby mode or switches off. During the automatic rinsing cycle,
some of the water ows through the inner circuit directly into the drip tray. Empty
the drip tray regularly.
4Place the lter in the empty water tank. Press it down until it cannot move any
further.
5Fill the water tank with fresh water up to the MAX indication and slide it into the
machine.
6Let the machine brew hot water until the water tank is empty (see chapter
‘Using the machine’, section ‘Hot water’).
7Rell the water tank with fresh water up to the MAX indication and slide it back
into the machine.
-The on/off button lights up continuously.
The machine is ready for use.
Brewing 1 or 2 cups of espresso or regular co󰀨ee
1Make sure the on/off button lights up green continuously and the control dial
points to the coffee bean icon.
2Place 1 or 2 cups on the drip tray grid.
3Press the espresso button or regular coffee button.
Note: You can interrupt the brewing cycle at any time. To do this, press the same
button (for espresso or regular coffee) that you pressed to start brewing coffee.
