During first-time use, you can choose between the

‘Programming’
):
U
‘Quick installation’

is ready for use.
U
‘Standard installation’ (

the CLARIS Pro filter cartridge. If the water hardness is
10 °dH or more, we recommend using the filter cartridge.

this out first (see Chapter 1 ‘Preparing and using for the first
time – Determining the water hardness’).
