2 Preparing and using your IMPRESSA for the first time
This chapter provides you with the information you need to use your
IMPRESSA without any problems. You will prepare your IMPRESSA
step-by-step for your first coffee experience using it.
When setting up your IMPRESSA, please note the following:
p Set the IMPRESSA down on a horizontal surface that is not
sensitive to water.
p Choose a spot for your IMPRESSA which is protected against
overheating. Ensure that the ventilation slots are not covered.
To enjoy perfect coffee, we recommend that you change the water
every day.
Milk, mineral water or other liquids can damage the water tank or
the machine.
l Only fill the water tank with fresh, cold water.
l Open the cover of the water tank.
l Remove the water tank and rinse it with cold water.
l Fill the water tank with fresh, cold mains water and rein-
sert.
l Close the cover of the water tank.
The bean container has an aroma preservation cover. This will ensure
that your coffee beans retain their aroma for longer.
Coffee beans which have been treated with additives (e.g. sugar),
either pre-ground or in the form of freeze-dried coffee, will damage
the grinder.
l Only use untreated coffee beans to refill the bean container.
l Open the cover of the bean container and remove the aroma
preservation cover.
l Remove any dirt or foreign objects inside the bean con-
tainer.
l New machines contain an information sheet in the bean
container. Remove this information sheet.
