1 Preparing and using for the first time
1 Preparing and using for the first time
Visit us on the Internet. You can download short operating instruc-
tions for your machine from the JURA website (www.jura.com). You
will also find interesting and up-to-date information on your X8 and
on every aspect of coffee.
When setting up your X8, please note the following:
UPlace the X8 on a horizontal surface that is not sensitive to
water.
UChoose a spot for your X8 which protects the machine against
overheating. Ensure that the ventilation slots are not covered.
The aroma preservation cover of the bean container is lockable
(spanner supplied as standard).
Coffee beans which have been treated with additives (e.g. sugar),
ground coffee or freeze-dried coffee will damage the grinder.
T Only use roasted, untreated coffee beans to fill the bean con-
tainer.
TRemove the aroma preservation cover.
TRemove any dirt or foreign objects from inside the bean
container.
TFill the bean container with coffee beans and close the
aroma preservation cover.
When you use the machine for the first time, you must set the water
hardness. If you do not know the hardness of your water, you can
find this out first. Use the Aquadur® test strips supplied with the
machine.
THold the test strip briefly (for 1second) under flowing water.
Shake off the water.
TWait for about 1minute.

TYou will then be able to read the degree of water hardness
from the discolouration of the Aquadur® test strip and the
description on the packaging.
When using the machine for the first time, you can choose whether
you want to operate X8 with or without the CLARIS Pro Smart filter
cartridge. As well as limescale, the filter cartridge filters many other
substances that impair aroma and flavour out of the water. These
substances may negatively affect the coffee. To enjoy the best qual-
ity coffee at all times, we recommend that you use CLARIS Pro
Smart.
If the machine is operated with a defective mains cable, there is a
danger of potentially fatal electric shock.
T Never use a machine which is damaged or has a defective
mains cable.
