First-time use
When using the machine for the first time, you can choose whether you want to operate IMPRESSA with or without the CLARIS Blue filter cartridge. If the water hardness is 10° dH or more, we recommend using the filter cartridge. If you do not know the hardness of your water, you can find this out first (see Chapter 1 ‘Preparing and using for the first time – Determining the water hardness’).
Precondition: The bean container has been filled.
