7. MEASURING WATER HARDNESS
The descaling alarm is displayed after a period of time es-
tablished 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 water supply
in the various regions, so that descaling is required less often.

with your model, you will find it attached to the Quick Guide.

about one second.
3. Remove the strip from the water and shake lightly. After
about a minute, 1, 2, 3, or 4 red squares appear, depend-
ing on the hardness of the water. Each square corresponds
to one level.
