water.
2. Allow the water to drain off the test
strip.
3. Read the water hardness off the
test strip after 1minute.

7.1 Switching the appliance
on or off
▶Press ⁠.
When the appliance switches on,
the display shows the Siemens
logo. When the appliance is
switched on or off, it will rinse itself
automatically. When switched off,
the appliance will emit steam into

pliance does not rinse itself if the
appliance is still warm when

off.
7.2 Dispensing beverages
Find out how to prepare a drink of
your choice.
WARNING
Risk of scalding!
Freshly prepared drinks are very hot.
▶Leave drinks to cool down if ne-
cessary.
▶Do not let escaping liquids or
steam come into contact with your
skin.
Notes
¡With a number of settings your cof-
fee is prepared in several steps.
Wait until the process is fully com-
pleted.
¡If you are dispensing a beverage
with milk, always connect the milk
container filled with milk or the
milk adapter to a milk carton.
¡You can only connect the milk con-
tainer or milk adapter if the milk
system is fitted with the adapter
and the hose in the beverage out-
let cover.
¡The milk container is specially de-
signed for this appliance. Only use
the milk container for storing milk
in the refrigerator and in the
house.
¡If the milk system has not been
cleaned, small amounts of milk
may escape when hot water is dis-
pensed.
Tips
¡You can also use plant-based al-
ternatives to milk, e.g. soya milk.
¡The quality of the milk foam de-
pends on the type of milk or the
plant-based alternative used.
7.3 doubleShot and tripleShot
Your appliance grinds the coffee two
or three times.
To ensure that only pleasant-tasting
and easily digestible aromatic sub-
stances are released, coffee beans
are freshly ground and brewed again
by the appliance.
The longer coffee brews, the more
bitter substances and undesirable
aromas are released. These bitter
substances and undesirable aromas
affect the taste and digestibility of
coffee.
Note:The functions "doubleShot" and
"tripleShot" depend on the beverage
strength and beverage size selected.
7.4 Dispensing a coffee
beverage with milk
