resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long
cord.
Your IMPRESSA has a 3-pin grounded plug.
b. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care
is exercised in their use.
c. If an extension cord is used,
1. the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be
at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,
and
2. if the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord
should be a grounding type 3-wire cord, and
3. the longer cord shall be arranged so that it will not drape
over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on
by children of tripped over.
As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only
one way.
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.

1 IMPRESSA J7
The uncompromising all-round design of the IMPRESSA J7 indulges
the eyes as well as the taste buds. Gourmets will find plenty to
delight them as their coffee dreams come true and they experience
a new dimension of enjoyment with ristretto, espresso, coffee
crème, cappuccino, latte macchiato and many other trendy speci-
alities. This is easy to achieve, because the innovative operating con-
cept leaves nothing to be desired when it comes to simplicity. And
the integrated cup illumination places every speciality coffee in the
right light.
Breathtakingly beautiful: Clear, no-frill contours and high-
quality materials set the tone of the design of the IMPRESSA
J series. All details have been exactly thought out and come
together to form an aesthetic whole that impresses in every
way. This makes the IMPRESSA J7 a true design feature in the
home, which, thanks to its compact design, can easily be
placed anywhere.
Pure ergonomics: The centrally arranged control elements,
with the unique Rotary Switch and a plain text display which
speaks your language, will allow you to quickly and intuitively
make your coffee wishes come true. The focus is fully on your
personal taste. Simply select the coffee strength, amount of
water and temperature according to your individual prefer-
ences. You can even choose between three hot water temper-
ature levels. Accessories such as the measuring spoon and the
hot water nozzle can be conveniently stored in the storage
compartment where they are always within reach.
Energy-saving made easy: The IMPRESSA J7 actively assists
you in saving energy.
With the Energy Save Mode (E.S.M.©) you can adjust the
energy saving potential to suit the way you like to enjoy your
beverages.

ervation cover.
Remove any dirt or foreign objects inside the bean con-
tainer.
Fill the bean container with coffee beans, then close the
aroma preservation cover and the bean container cover.

2 Preparing and using for the first time
Fill the water tank with fresh, cold water and reinsert the
tank.

If you are using the Professional Cappuccino Frother, set the
selector switch of the frother to the steam position n.
c T Press the maintenance button.
FILTER RINSING. Water flows out of the frother.
You can interrupt rinsing of the filter at any time by pressing
the maintenance button c.
The water may be slightly discoloured. This is not harmful to
health and does not affect the taste.
Rinsing of the filter stops automatically after approximately
500 ml. HEATING appears on the display, then READY is
displayed. The filter is now activated.
If you are using the CLARIS Blue filter cartridge and have acti-
vated it in programming mode, you will not be able to adjust
the water hardness.
The harder the water is, the more frequently the IMPRESSA needs to
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.
Hold the test strip briefly (for one second) under flowing
water. Shake off the water.
Wait for about one minute.
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.
You can now adjust the water hardness.

You can adjust the grinder on a continuous scale to suit the roast
of your coffee.
If you adjust the consistency of grind when the grinder is not oper-
ating, the grinder adjustment switch could be damaged.
Only adjust the consistency of grind when the grinder is run-
ning.
The consistency of grind setting is correct if the coffee flows regu-
larly from the coffee spout. In addition a fine, thick crema forms.
Our recommendations:
Select a fine setting for a light roast.
If the consistency of grind is too fine, the coffee only flows
in drips from the coffee spout.
