SETTING WATER HARDNESS
The light comes on after a period of time established accord-
ing to water hardness.
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.
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.
Setting water hardness
1. With the appliance off (standby), but the main switch
pressed (fig. 4);
2. Press the
icon (B14) until the icon lights up, togeth-
er with the lights indicating the current setting;
2. Press the
icon (B13) to select the hardness identi-
fied with the indicator paper;
3. Press the
icon (B12) to confirm (or
(B10) to
exit without making the modification).
The machine is now reprogrammed with the new water hard-
ness setting.
WATER SOFTENER FILTER (*CERTAIN MODELS
ONLY)
Certain models are fitted with a water softener filter. If this is not
the case with your model, you are recommended to purchase
one from De’Longhi Customer Services.
To use the filter correctly, follow the instructions below.
Installing the filter
1. Remove the filter (C3) from the packaging.
2. Turn the date indicator disk (see fig. 29) until the next two
months of use are displayed.
Please note
The filter lasts about two months if the appliance is used nor-
mally. If the coffee machine is left unused with the filter in-
stalled, it will last a maximum of three weeks.
3. To activate the filter, run tap water through the hole in the
filter as shown in the figure until water comes out of the
openings at the side for more than a minute (fig. 30).
4. Extract the tank (A18) from the appliance and fill with
water.
5. Insert the filter in the water tank and immerse it complete-
ly for about ten seconds, sloping it and pressing it lightly to
enable the air bubbles to escape (fig. 31).
6. Insert the filter in the filter housing (fig. 32) and press as
far as it will go.
7. Close the tank with the lid (fig. 33), then replace the tank
in the machine.
