PLUMBING INSTALLATION
Determine Water Hardness
Before installing the coffee maker, determine the water hardness. Call the local
water company. Ask them for the water hardness level of the water supplied to the
building where the coffee maker will be installed.
For Model E24CM75GSS (Tank Model):
If the water hardness level is above four grains per gallon (4 gpg) you must
use filtered water with a hardness of 4 gpg or less. Do not use distilled water.
If the water hardness level is below 4 gpg, you may use tap water in the
coffee system. Filtered water is recommended for better taste.
For Model E24CM76GSS (Plumbed Model):
If the water hardness is above 4 grains per gallon (4gpg) contact a qualified
water treatment specialist. Have a water treatment system installed that
lowers the water hardness level to 4 gpg or less.
Regardless of the type of water treatment system installed, ELECTROLUX
HIGHLY RECOMMENDS you install an Electrolux ACCFILT-24 filter system.
The coffee maker requires periodic decalcification that must be performed
regardless of the water hardness level. The filter head in the kit is required to
perform this process for model E24CM76GSS. Decalcification will be MUCH
SIMPLER with the Electrolux ACCFILT-24 filter system already installed. In
addition, the filter will improve water taste.
Electrolux does not recommend installation of a reverse osmosis filtration
system. Reverse osmosis systems can cause low water pressure. When the
water pressure is low, the coffee water volume level) can fluctuate and the
water pump may make a “hammering” sound.

CAUTION
To prevent damage to the coee maker due to hard water, prior to
installation check the water hardness for the building where you will be
installing the coee maker. If necessary have a qualied water treatment
specialist install a water treatment system. The water treatment system
must be installed between the house plumbing and the coee maker.
