EYou can interrupt rinsing of the filter at any time by pressing
any button.
EThe water may be slightly discoloured. This is not harmful to
health and does not affect the taste.
Filter rinsing stops automatically after approx. 500 ml.
HEATING appears on the display, then READY is dis-
played. The filter is now activated.
EHowever, if you are using the CLARIS filter cartridge and have
activated it, you will not be able to adjust the water hard-
ness.
Theharderthewateris,themorefrequentlytheIMPRESSAneedsto
be descaled. It is therefore important to adjust the water hardness.
The water hardness can be adjusted on a continuous scale between
1° dH and 30° dH. This can also be deactivated, which means that
the IMPRESSA will not let you know when it has to be descaled.
You can find out what the water hardness is by using the Aquadur®
test strip supplied as standard.
THold the test strip briefly (for one second) under flowing
water. Shake off the water.
TWait for about one minute.
TYou 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.
You can now adjust the water hardness.
Example: To change the water hardness from 16°dH to

TOnly adjust the fineness of grind when the grinder is run-

The fineness of grind setting is correct if the coffee flows regularly
from the coffee spout. A fine, thick crema is also formed.
Our recommendations:
ZSelect a fine setting for a light roast.
UIf the fineness of grind setting is too fine, the coffee only
drips from the coffee spout.
ZSelect a coarse setting for a darker roast.
UIf the fineness of grind is too coarse the coffee flows too
