10. ADJUSTING FOR WATER HARDNESS

The water is heated inside the machine. With use, this leads to

calcium deposits forming inside the machine. The display will

remind you when it is time to perform a decalcifying cycle. The

machine is set to level 2 (medium hard water). If you have

harder water you need to set it to a higher level. If you have

softer water you can set it to level 1. If you are not sure about

the hardness of your water, ask your local water company for

the "Water Hardness in Grains."

HARDNESS LEVEL 1: grains 2-9

HARDNESS LEVEL 2: grains 10-19

HARDNESS LEVEL 3: grains 20-29

HARDNESS LEVEL 4: grains 30+

You can also use the enclosed water hardness indicator strip to

determine the water hardness:

• Insert the stick for one second into the water you want to

use. Shake off any access water and wait for one minute.

• If all five fields of the test stick turn reddish, set the hardness

level to 4. If four fields turn reddish, set the hardness level to

3. If three or less fields turn reddish, leave the level in

position 2.

You can change the hardness settings as follows:

COFFEE READY

• Open cover for programming buttons (Fig.1,19) and press

and hold the P button (Fig.3A,P) until you hear a beep.

PRESS KEY / POWDER QUANTITY

• Press the + button several times until the display shows:

HARDNESS LEVEL 2.

• Press the P button. You will hear one beep.

• You can now change the hardness level by pressing the +

button until the desired level is displayed.

• Press the P button once again to confirm. Another beep will

be heard.

• Press the N button. The display will show COFFEE READY.

In level – – the water hardness monitor is turned off.

IMPORTANT: Turning the monitor off requires you to use the

Claris filter cartridge or distilled water.

11. CLARIS WATER CARTRIDGE

The machine comes with one free Claris water cartridge. The

Claris water cartridge is specially made for use with the

Impressa machines. The Claris cartridge:

• Reduces the water hardness up to 75%.

• Removes (if present) up to 85% chlorine, up to 90% lead, up

to 95% copper and up to 67% aluminum.

• Cleans the water through an upward current principle (See

Fig. 10) just before the brewing cycle starts, ensuring freshly

filtered water every time you make coffee.

• Eliminates decalcifying. When using the Claris water cartridge,

you never need to decalcify your machine.

• Is available through your retailer, the enclosed mail order form,

or through www.capresso.com, or call 1-800-220-5701.

11a. INSTALLING THE CLARIS CARTRIDGE
