INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE POWER
SUPPLY CORD
A. A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be
provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.
B. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available
and may used if care is exercised in their use.
C. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
1. The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or
extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance
2. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord, and

PREPARING FOR USE
Machine Packaging
The original packaging has been designed and constructed to protect the
machine during transport. We recommend keeping the packaging material
for possible future transport.
Machine Installation
1Remove the drip tray with grill from the packaging.
2Remove the machine from the packaging.
3For best use, it is recommended to:
• Choose a safe, level surface, where there is no danger of overturn-
ing the machine or being injured.
• Choose a location that is suciently well-lit, clean and near an eas-
ily reachable socket;
• Allow for a minimum distance from the sides of the machine as
shown in the illustration.
4Insert the drip tray with grill into the machine. Make sure it is fully
inserted.
Note:
The drip tray collects the water that comes out of the dispensing spout
during each rinse/self-cleaning cycle, as well as coee that might be spilled
during beverage preparation. Empty and wash the drip tray daily and each
time the full drip tray indicator is raised.
Caution:
NEVER remove the drip tray when the machine has just been turned
on. Wait a couple of minutes for the machine to carry out a rinse/self-
cleaning cycle.

Measuring and Programming Water Hardness
Measuring water hardness is very important for dening the frequency in
which the machine has to be descaled and to install the “INTENZA+” water
lter (for more detail on the water lter see next chapter).
To measure the water hardness follow the steps below:
1Immerse the water hardness test strip (supplied with the machine) in
water for 1 second.
Note:
The test strip can only be used for one measurement.
2Wait for one minute.

3Check how many squares have changed the colour to red and then
consult the table.
Note:
The numbers on the water hardness test strip correspond to the water
hardness adjustment settings.
More precisely:
1 = 1 (very soft water)
2 = 2 (soft water)
3 = 3 (hard water)
4 = 4 (very hard water)
The letters correspond to the references that are located at the base of the
“INTENZA+” water lter (see next chapter).
