Hardness range setting
The appliance is preset to very hard water (hardness
range 4) as a precaution against excessive calcificati-
on. Request the hardness range in your residential
area from the responsible waterworks or the commu-
nity administration. If it is lower than 4, you can chan-
ge the setting. You then must no longer decalcify so
frequently.
1. Switch the appliance off at the on/off button (10).
2. Press the start/stop button (12) (3 to 4
seconds) until the on/off button (10) flashes yel-
low. The number of impulses shows the set
hardness range.

3 hars > 14 - 21° dH

4 very hard > 21° dH
1° dH corresponds with approx. 0.18 mmol/l Ca- and Mg
ions
3. You will change the setting by one step every time
you press the start/stop button (12). Range 1 fol-
lows hardness range 4 again.
4. In order to assume the new hardness range, press the
on/off button (10) again briefly. if this is not done
within 10 seconds, the appliance is switched off with-
out changing the setting. You can check the hardness
range at any time by repeating step 1 and 2.
Decalcifier
The automatic decalcification program of your auto-
matic coffee pad appliance is optimized to be used
for a portion (125 ml) of durgol
®
swiss espresso
®
Therefore only use this product in the specified quan-
tity when decalcifying the appliance. A complete
decalcification and saving the materials is only gua-
ranteed during the brief decalcification period.
durgol
®
swiss espresso
®
was specifically develo-
ped for automatic coffee and espresso machines. It
is used undiluted, is highly effective and guarantees a
reliable decalcification and therefore a long service
life of the appliance.
You may obtain it where you bought the appliance;
directly from a select dealer or you can order it direct-
ly from petra-electric.
Never use vinegar or vinegar concentrate since
material of the appliance might be damaged.
Decalcification with citric acid is too slow. That is
why a proer decalcification cannot be guaranteed.
A warranty claim does not exist for damages that
develop due to the use of an unsuitable decalcifier or
non-compliance of the decalcification specifications.
Please be careful when carefully handling the
decalcifying agent that damages are not caused on
furniture or clothing. Please use a possibly high cup
for that reason and place it under the respective
spout in order to prevent splatters.
Decalcification program
Your automatic coffee pad system includes an automatic
decalcification program that lasts approximately for 25
minutes.
Note: Once the automatic decalcification program is
started, it cannot be interrupted.
Preparation
1.
13 Unscrew the red steam nozzle (23) from the
steam outlet (22). Use the Allen key (32) for this, it
is located on the bottom of the drip pan (8).

into the empty water reservoir (4), place the
red steam nozzle (23) inside and fill the reservoir
with fresh water up to the max. mark. Then insert
the reservoir into the appliance.
