12 FUNCTION PROGRAMMING
The appliance allows you to programme some para-
meters depending on your needs.
To programme the functions, you must enter program-
ming mode as follows:
• Ensure that the ON/OFF switch (7) of the appliance
is switched to "O" and that the hot water knob (16)
is OFF.
• Press the buttons (23) and (25) and, at the same
time, switch ON the appliance using the ON/OFF
switch (7).
You are now in the programming mode.
To quit the programming mode and implement your
changes, switch the machine OFF and, then, back
ON again using the main switch (7).
12.1 Programming water hardness
Running water is more or less hard, depending on the
area. This coffee maker can be adjusted so that it will
work optimally with the water hardness level, expressed
on a scale from 1 to 4, of your area.
The appliance is already set to an average value
(hardness3).
Before proceeding, you must check the
water hardness of your area using the strip
supplied with the appliance. Quickly immerse (1
second) the strip into the water and shake slightly.
After a minute, the strip shows the test results.
To programme this function, proceed as follows:
• Press the button (22); the number of lit buttons
indicates the programmed water hardness;
• If you desire to change the water hardness level,
press the button (22) repeatedly up to when the
correct number of lit buttons are displayed, indicating
the water hardness level.
Hardness 1 = buttons (22) and (23) lit
Hardness 2 = buttons (22), (23) and (24) lit
Hardness 3 = buttons (22), (23), (24) and (25) lit
Hardness 4 = buttons (22), (23), (24), (25) and (26) lit
The hardness index matches the 1-4 squares on the
strip.
12.2 Programming the rinsing cycle
Immediately after switching ON, the machine auto-
matically eliminates any remaining water in the piping
circuit to guarantee that the coffee is made with fresh
water only.
To programme this function, proceed as follows:
• Press the button (23); when the function is ON, the
warning light (27) lights up.
12.3 Programming "Prebrewing"
The prebrewing process slightly dampens the coffee
before brewing; this brings out the full aroma of the
coffee and gives it an excellent taste.
To programme this function, proceed as follows:
• Press the button (24); when the function is ON, the
warning light (28) lights up.
Note: the manufacturer has already activated
this function.
12.4 Programming "Pregrinding"
The pregrinding procedure makes the machine grind
twice: the fi rst time, for the type of selected coffee
and, the second, for the next type of coffee (not yet
selected). This function is only useful if you must
prepare different types of coffee at the same time (for
example, during a visit, party).
To programme this function, proceed as follows:
• Press the button (25); when the function is ON, the
warning light (29) lights up.
