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
(A18) to contain water.
• If the water tank has not been filled to the MAX level, at
the end of descaling, the appliance requests a third rinse to
guarantee that the descaler solution has been complete-
ly eliminated from the machine's internal circuits. Before
starting rinsing, remember to empty the drip tray.
19. SETTING WATER HARDNESS
The "DESCALING NEEDED. PRESS OK TO START (~45min)" mes-
sage is displayed after a period of time established according
to water hardness. The machine is set by default 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.
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
one level.

ured previously as indicated in the following table:

hardness setting.

is not the case with your model, you are recommended to pur-
chase one from De’Longhi Customer Services.
