Please note!
• If the descaling cycle is not completed correctly (e.g. no
electricity) we recommend repeating the cycle.
• After descaling, it is normal for the grounds container
(A13) to contain water.
16. SETTING WATER HARDNESS
Descaling is necessary after a period of operation established
according to the water hardness set.
The machine is set by default for a hardness value of 4. The ma-
chine can also be programmed according to the hardness of the
mains water in the various regions so that the machine needs to
be descaled less often.
16.1 Measuring water hardness
1. Remove the “TOTAL HARDNESS TEST” indicator paper (C1)
from its pack (attached to the English instructions).
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.
16.2 Setting water hardness
1. Make sure the appliance is off (but connected to the
mains electricity supply and with the main switch in the
I position);
2. Press and hold the button (B5) for at least 5 sec-
onds. The and lights come on together;
3. Press the button (B3, on the left of the dial) to set the
actual water hardness as measured by the indicator paper.
