Turn on the machine

Step 1: connect the coffee machine

  1. Connect the power cord to the coffee machine and put the connecter into the socket.
  2. Touch the icon of the large coffee cup. The icons 'coffee' and 'coffee strength' start to burn brightly.
  3. Set the water hardness.
Hold the test strip under running water for 2 seconds

Step 2: adjust the water hardness

  1. To test the water hardness, use the test strip you can find in the box.
  2. Hold the test strip under running water for 2 seconds and shake the water from the strip.
  3. Wait for about 1 minute.
  4. Read the water hardness level via the colored rings on the test strip.
  5. Via the coffee strength icons, you can indicate the water level. If you have 0 - 2 red blocks, choose 1 bean. If you have 3 red blocks, choose 2 beans. If you have 4 - 5 red blocks, choose 3 beans.
  6. Choose the icon that matches your water hardness, and then touch the coffee icon to confirm the water hardness.
Fill the water tank to 'max'

Step 3: set the water filter

  1. The icons 'filter' and 'water tank' light up on the display.
  2. Take the JURA water filter.
