light goes off.
Fill the water tank again and the machine is ready for use.
SETTING WATER HARDNESS
Descaling is necessary after a period of operation established
according to the water hardness set.
The machine is factory set for a hardness value of 4.
The machine 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.
Measuring water hardness
1. Remove the “TOTAL HARDNESS TEST” indicator paper 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.
Set 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 the
button and hold it down for at least
6 seconds. The
and
lights come on
together;
3. Press the
button (on the left of the dial) to set the ac-
tual water hardness as measured by the indicator paper.
