6. WATER HARDNESS
6.1 Water hardness
The descale light (B8) comes on after a period of time es-
tablished according to water hardness. The machine can also
be programmed according to the actual hardness of the water
supply in the various regions, in which case descaling may be
required less frequently.
Proceed as follows:
1. Remove the “TOTAL HARDNESS TEST” indicator paper (C4)
from its pack.
2. Immerse the paper completely in a glass of water for one
second.
3. Remove the paper from the water and shake lightly. After
about a minute, 1, 2, 3, or 4 red squares form, depending
on the hardness of the water. Each square corresponds to
one level.
