2.4.1. Using the appliance with lter
Included in the package is a Claris lter. When using this lter, the appliance needs to be descaled
less frequently as it softens the water.
Turn the rotary control to “YES” and press for the appliance to recognize that a lter is in use.
Display shows “INSERT FILTER”.
Empty the water tank (g. 1/F and 2) and carefully screw the lter into the respective slot in the
water tank, using the integrated tool at the end of the measuring spoon (g. 4).
Attention: Do not overtighten or break.
Fill the tank with fresh water to above the minimum mark (0.7 l) and insert it back into the ap-
pliance.
Close the cover on the left (g. 1/F)
Place a sufciently large bowl (minimum contents 0.5 l) underneath the spout (g. 1/E) and
press the rotary control or touch the continue symbol.
The system is now being ushed. The display shows “FILTER FLUSHES”.
Wait until no more water emerges from the spout.
The display shows “PLEASE Flush”.
Press the rotary control or touch the start symbol. The display shows “SYSTEM FLUSHES”.
Once the appliance has reached operating temperature, the main menu with the drinks symbols will
appear in the display to show that the appliance is ready for use.
The rst cup: When you prepare your rst cup of coffee the grinder will be empty. It is possible that
after the initial grinding the display will show “REFILL BEANS” and no coffee is produced.
If that happens, please follow the display’s instruction and press the rotary control again.
The process will then be repeated.
Note: If you are using a lter and programmed the system to “FILTER INSERTED? YES”, the internal
water softening is automatically set to water hardness level 1. The appliance needs descaling less
frequently – but always descale when asked to do so and always with FILTER REMOVED. The lter will
need to be changed after approx. 50 l of water have been drawn (changing lter see 3.1).
Attention: Even if the display does not indicate “PLEASE CHANGE FILTER“, the lter needs changing after
a maximum of two months if the appliance is not used regularly (see 5.8.).
2.4.2. Using the appliance without lter
If you prefer to use the appliance without lter, the lter setting “FILTER INSERTED? NO” needs
to be set. This is important because depending on the water hardness the appliance needs to be
descaled more often (ex-factory the appliance comes with the setting “FILTER INSERTED? NO”!).
Turn the rotary control to “FILTER INSERTED? NO” and press to conrm.
The display shows the level of water hardness.
Note: Due to production reasons the internal pipes may be empty when setting the appliance up for
the rst time. The appliance will show this as follows: On the display it says “PLEASE FILL”, once the
appliance has been switched on with the On/Off switch (g. 1/H).
Place a sufciently large bowl (minimum contents 0.5 l) underneath the spout.
Press the rotary control.
The system is now being lled with water which may emerge from the spout (g. 1/E).
Once the system has reached operating temperature, the display shows “PLEASE FILL”.
Press the rotary control.
The system is now being lled with water.
2.4.3. Adjusting the water hardness
Depending on the water hardness in your area, the appliance needs to be descaled every now and
then. For the system to be able to indicate that this is necessary, you need to set the correct water
hardness prior to rst use.
Level 3 is the ex-factory pre-set level.
First test the water quality with the enclosed test strip:
Dip the test strip into the water and shake it lightly.
After about one minute you will be able to read the result by counting the red dots on the test
strip.
The different levels are listed as follows and can be adjusted:
Test strip / Degree of hardness = Display
1 red dot / 1–7° = LEVEL 1
2 red dots / 8–14° = LEVEL 2
3 red dots / 15–21° = LEVEL 3
4 red dots / >21° = LEVEL 4
Note: If the test strip does not show any red dots, please set up level 1.
How to set up the water hardness:
Turn the rotary control onto the correct degree of hardness and press it to conrm.
The display shows “PLEASE FILL”.
Press the rotary control or touch the start symbol. The display shows “SYSTEM IS FILLING”.
The system is now being lled with water and heated up.
The display shows “PLEASE RINSE”.
Press the rotary control. The display shows “SYSTEM RINSES”.
Once the appliance is ready the display will show the main menu.
The rst cup: When you prepare your rst cup of coffee the grinder will be empty. It is possible that
after the initial grinding the display will show “REFILL BEANS”, and no coffee is produced.
Follow the display and press the rotary control again.
The process will then be repeated.
2.5. Switching the appliance on during operation
When you have started the appliance for the rst time (see 2.4), proceed as follows for all other start-
ups:
Switch the appliance on using the on/off switch (g. 1/H).
The display shows “NIVONA, SYSTEM IS HEATING UP”.
Once production temperature has been reached, the display shows “PLEASE RINSE”.
Press the rotary control or touch the start symbol.
The system is now being rinsed. The display shows “SYSTEM RINSES”. Afterwards the appliance is
operational. The display shows the main menu (g. 1/A).
Note: If you do not use the appliance for a prolonged period of time (e.g. holidays), switch it off using
the on/off switch (g. 1/H) and unplug it from the mains.
Note: Ex-factory the machine has a pre-programmed setting for each coffee speciality. This means that
you can brew your rst coffee straight away (see 4.). However, we do recommend making the neces-
sary adjustments according to your preferences before you do so (see 3.)
