•Press and hold the HRES and MIN buttons to increase the numbers and scroll them at increasing speed. When you get close to the desired number, pulse the push button to increase one digit at a time. When the numbers stop blinking, time is set.

Note: when the number count passes 12, “PM” will be displayed on the LCD to set the time from noon to midnight. When there is no indication, you will set AM times from 0 to noon. Always make sure that the time is set according to the correct period so that the automatic on and off functions operate correctly.

5. Automatic descaling

Use after use, scaling builds up. Scaling interfers with fine mechanics and gives coffee a hard and bitter taste. That is why the appliance should be regularly descaled to ensure good quality coffee. The descaling frequency depends upon the hardness of your tap water and how often you use the coffemaker.

•When the coffeemaker needs descaling, the descaling indicator light next to the CALC. button begins to flash when the coffee is turned on (see Heading 6. CLEANING AND STORAGE).

•Press the CALC. button and switch on the appliance by flipping the O/I switch up. The descaling indicator light stays on. The coffeemaker is now in “automatic descaling” mode.

•When the cycle is completed, the 5 beeps sound and the coffemaker will shut off.

•A single descaling cycle is generally enough. Switch the coffeemaker on (flip O/I switch up) to see if the descaling light continues to flash. If not, the coffeemaker is descaled. If the indicator light continues to flash, repeat the descaling operation.

•When the appliance is descaled, rinse by running a complete cycle with fresh water: fill the reservoir up to its

maximum level with cold fresh water (without coffee nor

filter). Switch the coffeemaker on ( + O/I switch) and let water flow.

Note: pressing the descaling button cancels all other settings. If it is pressed accidentally, press it again to cancel descaling and return the coffeemaker to all its previous settings.

6.1-4 cup setting

Allows to prepare small amounts of coffee (1 to 4 cups) while ensuring optimal temperature.

This function can be combined with all the other settings. Simply press the 1-4 button after having set functions and turned the unit on with 0/1 switch.
