10. The machine is now ready for rinsing through with clean
water. Empty the container used to collect the descaler
solution. Extract the water tank, empty, rinse under run-
ning water, fill with fresh water up to the MAX level and
put back in the machine;
11. Place the container used to collect the descaler solution
empty under the coffee spouts and frother (fig. 29);
12. Press the
OK

Descaling is complete.
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
(A11) to contain water;
• If the water tank has not been filled to the MAX level, at
the end of descaling, the machine requests a third rinse to
guarantee that the descaler solution has been completely
eliminated from the machine's internal circuits.
19. SETTING WATER HARDNESS
The
light (B5) comes on after a period of time established
according to water hardness.
The machine is set by default for a hardness level 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.
19.1 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 1
level;
