Your appliance has been checked and tested before leaving the manufacturing facility. Despite all the attention paid
to cleaning, it is nevertheless possible that you find coffee residues in the coffee grinder and/or coffee drops on the
grid of the drip tray. When unpacking, you may also notice the presence of dust on the machine due to the protective
material. We recommend that you thoroughly clean your machine before first use with a cloth.
We thank you for your understanding.
Never use a damaged appliance.
MACHINE STANDBY
Depending on the preparation, the machine performs automatic rinsing when it is put on standby. The cycle lasts
only a few seconds and stops automatically.
Hints and tips
WATER
The quality of the water greatly influences the quality of the aromas. Limescale and chlorine may alter the taste
of coffee. To preserve all the aromas of your coffee, we recommend that you use fresh water as well as a Claris
Aqua Filter System cartridge, or bottled water with dry residue below 800 mg/L (see label on bottle). See the
chapter "FILTER AND WATER HARDNESS".
CUP
When preparing hot drinks we recommend using preheated cups (by passing them under hot water) the size of
which is adapted to your desired quantity.
BEANS
Roasted coffee beans may lose their aroma if they are not protected. We advise you to use the amount of beans
equivalent to your consumption over the next 2–3 days and to choose 250 g bags. The quality of coffee beans
is variable and tastes are subjective. Arabica will give you fine, floral aromas unlike Robusta which is higher in
caffeine, more bitter and full-bodied. It is common to mix the two types of coffee to achieve a more balanced
coffee. Please do not hesitate to seek advice from your roaster. We do not recommend the use of oily and
caramelised beans as these can damage the machine.
The fineness of the ground beans influences the strength of the aromas and the quality of the crema. The more
finely ground the beans, the smoother the crema. Grinding can also be adapted for the desired drink.
FILTER AND WATER HARDNESS
WHAT DOES THE WATER HARDNESS ADJUSTMENT DO?

WHY INSTALL A FILTER CARTRIDGE?
The Claris Aqua Filter System cartridge helps to optimise the taste of your coffee, to limit the build up of limescale and
to reduce maintenance operations.

The cartridge is placed in the water tank.

cartridge to show the date of installation + 2 months.
