ground coffee or freeze-dried coffee will damage the grinder.
TOnly use roasted, untreated coffee beans to fill the bean
container.
TOpen the bean container cover and remove the aroma pres-
ervation cover.
TRemove any dirt or foreign objects from inside the bean
container.
TFill the bean container with coffee beans, then close the
aroma preservation cover and the bean container cover.
If the machine is operated with a defective power cord, there is a
danger of potentially fatal electric shock.
TNever use a machine which is damaged.
TNever use a machine which has a defective power cord.

EThe water may be slightly discolored. This is not harmful to
health and does not affect the taste.
Rinsing of the filter stops automatically after approxi-
mately 17 oz (500 ml). COFFEE READY appears on the
display. The filter is activated.
EIf you are using the CLEARYL Blue filter cartridge and have
activated 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. It can also be deactivated, which means that the
IMPRESSA will not let you know when it has to be descaled.
