7 Before using for the first time
Implement the settings for the initial configuration. Calibrate the appliance. Clean the appliance and accessories.
7.1 Before using for the first time
Before using the appliance for the first time, ask your
water supplier about the hardness of your tap water. To
ensure that the appliance can reliably remind you to
descale it when required, you must set your water hard-
ness range correctly.
ATTENTION!
If the wrong water hardness has been set, the appli-
ance cannot remind you to descale it at the right time.
▶
Set the water hardness correctly.
Using unsuitable liquids may damage the appliance.
▶
Do not use distilled water, highly chlorinated tap wa-
ter (>40 mg/l) or other liquids.
▶
Only use cold, fresh tap water, softened water or
non-carbonated mineral water.
Malfunctions may occur when using filtered or deminer-
alised water. The appliance may request that you top
up the water tank even though it may be full, or opera-
tion with steam is cancelled after approx. two minutes.
▶
If required, mix filtered or demineralised water with
the bottled non-carbonated mineral water with a ra-
tio of one to one.
Tip:
If you use mineral water, set the water hardness
range to "very hard". If you use mineral water, you must
only use non-carbonated mineral water.
Tip:
If your tap water is very hard, we recommend that
you use softened water. If you use only softened water,
you can set your appliance to the "softened" water
hardness range.
