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 JURA
and on every aspect of coffee.
When setting up your JURA, please note the following:
UPlace the JURA on a horizontal surface that is not sensitive to
water.
UChoose a spot for your JURA which protects the machine
against overheating. Ensure that the ventilation slots are not
covered.
Daily maintenance of the machine and hygiene when handling milk,
coffee and water are key to a perfect coffee result in the cup every
time. You should therefore change the water daily.
Milk, sparkling mineral water or other liquids can damage the water
tank or the machine.
T Only fill the water tank with fresh, cold water.
TOpen the water tank cover.
TRemove the water tank and rinse it with cold water.
TFill the water tank with fresh, cold water and reinsert the
tank.
TClose the water tank cover.
The bean container has an aroma preservation cover. This will ensure
that your coffee beans retain their aroma for longer.
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Open the bean container cover and remove the aroma pres-
ervation cover.

1 Preparing and using for the first time
Your JURA no longer has to be descaled if you are using the CLARIS
Blue filter cartridge. If the water hardness is 10°dH or more, we rec-
ommend using the filter cartridge.
EIf you do not know the hardness of your water, you must find
this out first (see Chapter 1 ‘Preparing and using for the first
time – Determining the water hardness’).
EPerform the ‘inserting the filter’ operation without any inter-
ruptions. This will ensure that your JURA always produces its
best.

1 Preparing and using for the first time
TPlace a receptacle under the cappuccino frother.
TPress the ‘Next’ button.
‘Filter is being rinsed.’, water flows out of the cappuccino
frother.
EYou can interrupt rinsing of the filter at any time by pressing
any button. Press the Rotary Switchkto continue rinsing of
the filter.
EThe 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. The JURA heats up and is once more ready for use.
The filter is now activated.
EIf 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 JURA needs to be
descaled. It is therefore important to set the water hardness accu-
rately.
The water hardness can be adjusted on a continuous scale between
1 °dH and 30 °dH.
You can find out what the water hardness is by using the Aquadur®
test strip supplied as standard.
THold the test strip briefly (for 1 second) under flowing water.
Shake off the water.
TWait for about one 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.
You can now adjust the water hardness.
