2.3 Filling the water tank
Only use fresh, cold water. Never fill the water tank with milk, mineral water or other liquids.
Take out the water tank and thoroughly rinse it out with cold tap water.
Then fill it with water and place it back into the coffee machine. Make sure the tank is installed correctly and that it engages properly.
2.4 Filling the bean tank
To ensure your IMPRESSA will have a long service life and to avoid repairs, please note that the grinding gear is not suit- able for coffee beans that have been treated with additives (e.g. sugar) during or after roasting. Coffee blends of this type may damage the machine’s grinding gear. Repair costs resulting from such use are not subject to the terms of guar- antee.
Open the cover of the bean tank (Fig. 2) and remove the aroma preservation cover (15).
Remove any dirt or foreign matter from the bean tank.
Fill the bean tank with coffee beans (Fig. 2), replace the aroma preservation cover (15) and close the lid.
2.5 Adjusting the grinding gear
You can adjust the grinding gear to the roast of your coffee. We recommend that you use:
a finer setting | for a lighter roast |
a coarser setting | for a darker roast |
The grinding degree may only be adjusted while the grinding gear is running.
Open the lid of the bean tank (16).
To adjust the grinding degree, turn the Rotary Switch (Fig. 2) to the required position.
The smaller the dots, the finer the grind The larger the dots, the coarser the grind
