and without a filter bag or ground coffee, in order to
clean it.
• For the best coffee enjoyment and convenient use,
the appliance is equipped with various features.
These features are explained below.
3. Set water hardness
Depending on water hardness lime scale may build up
in the appliance. This increases the appliance's energy
consumption as lime scale on the heating element can
prevent the water heating effectively. To avoid damage
the appliance must be descaled regularly. The descaling
display helps you in this. If the CALC button  is
permanently lit this shows that the appliance needs to
be descaled.
The appliance is pre-set for a high level of water
hardness (level 4). You can find out the level of water
hardness in your area by asking your local water
provider or by using water hardness measuring strips
available in the shops. For softer water the descaling
display can be adjusted to descale less often:
• Hold down the CALC button  for longer than 2
seconds. The CALC button starts to flash. In the
factory settings the CALC button flashes briefly four
times with the following pauses ............
• You can set the water hardness at three further
levels. Each time you briefly press the CALC button
 the display changes to flashing one, two or three
times, each time followed by a pause
(......, ......, ......).
• The settings and display are shown in the following
table 1.
• Once you have set the desired hardness level, again
hold the CALC button  down for longer than two
seconds. The light goes off and your settings are
saved.
Please note:
• Water hardness cannot be programmed while
brewing.
• The last water hardness level chosen remains even
after removing the power cable.

4. Setting the hotplate

Keeping coffee warm on the hotplate affects the taste
of your coffee. To avoid this you should enjoy your
coffee fresh by drinking it as soon after brewing as
possible. Unnecessary warming also uses valuable
Custo-
®
energy. The factory settings for the appliance are for
40 minutes of warming. After this the hotplate turns
off automatically. This time can be changed as needed:
• Press the ON/OFF button  longer than two seconds.
• In the factory settings the ON/OFF button  flashes
briefly twice with the following pause (......).
• There are two other settings for the warming time.
By briefly pressing the ON/OFF button  the
display changes to flashing three times or once, each
time followed by a pause (......, ......, ......).
• The settings and display are shown in table 2.
• Once you have set the desired warming time,
confirm your settings by pressing the ON/OFF
button  for longer than two seconds. Your settings
are now saved
• The last setting chosen remains even after removing
the power cable.
5. Making coffee
• Ensure that the appliance is connected to the power
source.
• Fill the water tank.
• Remove the detachable water tank by holding the
recessed grip and pulling straight up .

amount of fresh water from the tap. Using the water
level indicator on the tank you an choose the cor-
rect number of cups.

tank back in the appliance. Please ensure that you
replace the tank upright in the appliance. The guide
rails on the appliance (left of the tank) will help you
with this .
