Yes, fully-automatic espresso machines are factory calibrated for a water hardness level of 3, but they can be recalibrated depending on the type of water in your area.
To determine the hardness of your water, (0 = very soft, 1 = soft, 2 = slightly hard, 3 = hard, 4 = very hard) dip one of the paper test strips provided with your device into your water for one second, then wait 1 minute for the result or contact your water provider. You can also contact your town hall to get this information.
Turn the adjustment knob located in the coffee bean container.
This setting should be applied during grinding and notch by notch (you can hear the noise of the grinder before the coffee starts to flow).
According to model:
The quality of the water has a strong influence on the quality of the flavours. Limescale and chlorine can affect the taste of your drinks.
In order to preserve all the flavours, we recommend that you use tap water (domestic drinking water) with the Claris Aqua Filter System cartridge, or bottled water with a dry residue of less than 800 mg/L (see bottle label).
Also remember to descale your machine if it indicates a descaling alert.
The Claris cartridge must be replaced approximately every 50 litres of water or at least every 2 months.
Depending on your model, the machine may automatically prompt you to replace it.
Scale deposits naturally form in your appliance and, without intervention, can affect the performance of the machine.
Regular descaling of your machine will preserve the proper functioning of your machine and ensure its longevity by eliminating all deposits of limescale or scale in all circuits that are in regular contact with water and susceptible to scaling.
All of our machines are equipped with an alert feature that lets you know when to descale.
It may be normal not to have any warning messages if your steam/hot water consumption is low.
Your espresso machine is equipped with a counter and automatically alerts you when descaling is necessary after a certain number of steam/hot water brews and according to several parameters: your consumption, the water hardness setting.
Your espresso machine is equipped with a counter and will automatically alert you when descaling is necessary after a certain number of steam/hot water brews and according to several parameters: your consumption, the water hardness setting, etc.
It is therefore normal not to receive alerts if your steam/hot water consumption is low.
It is not necessary to descale apart from the machine alerts.
Follow the instructions in the user manual for descaling your machine.
We recommend that you descale as soon as the machine displays the alert and that you use the descaling product whose dosage has been perfectly adapted and tested by our teams to act effectively against limescale and scale, without any risk of aggression or damage to the machine's internal components.
It is not necessary to descale apart from warning messages.
After a certain number of coffees, it is important to clean and degrease the entire coffee circuit of the machine with a cleaning tablet to preserve the taste quality of your drinks.
The machine is equipped with a cleaning programme and automatically alerts you when it is necessary, depending on several parameters: your consumption, the water hardness setting, etc.
We recommend that you clean the machine as soon as it displays the alert and that you use the tablets whose dosage has been perfectly adapted and tested by our teams to act effectively, without any risk of aggression or damage to the machine's internal components.
Your machine has a unique design using hydraulic technology to make perfect coffees.
This construction allows the coffee circuit to be rinsed under pressure and automatically drained after each cup: the guarantee of perfect hygiene.
Drip tray
The drip tray is used to catch any water or coffee that spills out of the machine during and after brewing. It is important to always leave it in place and to empty it regularly. For hygienic purposes, we recommend that you remove the drip tray to clean it daily and let it air dry before putting it back in the machine.
When the floats are in the upper position, this indicates an overflow. It is then necessary to empty the drip tray.
Coffee grounds collector
The coffee grounds collector receives the extracted coffee grounds.
For hygienic reasons, we recommend that you clean the coffee grounds collector under hot soapy water every day and let it air dry before putting it back in the machine.
When it is necessary to empty the coffee grounds collector, the machine will indicate this.
You can empty it more regularly, but when the machine is switched on, put the collector back in so that the machine can record that it has been emptied.
Important:
• Not emptying the coffee grounds collector regularly as described above can damage your machine.
• Do not put the collector in the dishwasher.
Water tank
To preserve the aroma of your coffee and for hygienic reasons, we recommend that you use fresh water, clean the tank daily with hot water and a sponge, and let it air dry before putting it back on the machine.
Coffee bean container
Coffee beans can leave a greasy residue on the sides of the container, which can affect the quality of your coffee. To preserve its aroma and for hygienic reasons, we recommend that you wipe it with a clean, soft, dry cloth each time it needs to be filled.
Important: Do not use water to clean the bean container, the presence of water in the container could damage your machine.
We recommend that you only descale your machine when it warns you to do so, to avoid damaging components that have not been scaled.
During the first few months of use, if the number of beverages made is not sufficient for descaling to be necessary, you will not be able to descale manually in advance (apart from the automatic alert).
After this number of drinks, it is possible to descale manually (depending on the model).
You do not have to run the cleaning programme immediately when the machine alerts you to do so, but you must do it within a short time.
If cleaning is postponed, the warning message will remain on the display until the operation is performed.
