Choose a spot for your E8 which protects the machine against
T
overheating. Ensure that the ventilation slots are not covered.
Place the E8 on a horizontal surface that is not sensitive to
T
water.
The aroma preservation cover on the bean container ensures that
the aroma of the beans is retained for longer.
Coffee beans which have been treated with additives (e.g. sugar),
ground coffee or freeze-dried coffee will damage the grinder.
Only use roasted, untreated coffee beans to fill the bean
T
container.
Remove the aroma preservation cover.

When you use the machine for the first time, you must set the water
hardness. If you know the hardness of your water, go straight to the
next section. If you do not know the water hardness, you can find
this out first:
Hold the Aquadur
test strip supplied under running water for
®
T
one second. Shake off the water.
Wait for about 1 minute.

You will then be able to read the degree of water hardness from

the discoloration of the Aquadur® test strip and the description
on the packaging.
