Before using for the first time

It is helpful to get to know the
FashionMaster before using it for the
first time so that you will be able to
make use of all the functions.
^ Remove the packaging (e.g. the
protective film from the tower, etc).
When using for the first time, you might
notice a slight odour during the
heating-up phase. This will dissipate
with further use.
During operation pumping, boiling and
knocking noises may be heard.
These are normal noises which occur
during operation.

Water hardness

To ensure problem-free functioning and
so that the descaling reminder appears
at the right time, it is important to adjust
the appliance to the local water
hardness level. The water hardness
level indicates how much calcium is
dissolved in the water. The higher the
calcium content, the harder the water,
and the harder the water, the more
often the appliance will need to be
descaled.
Your local water board will be able to
tell you the hardness level of your
water. This information can often be
found on the internet on the home page
of the relevant water board.
Set the water hardness according to
the table. The water hardness set is
shown by the flash frequency of the k
indicator light.
