can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is en-
couraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the follow-
ing measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the
separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment
into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
Before setup: Anticalc cartridge and water hardness
The anticalc cartridge reduces the limescale in the water and the undesir-
able emission of limescale particles into the surroundings. Effective for one
to three months, depending on water hardness (see table).
Important: Soak the anticalc cartridge in a water bath for 24 hours before
the first use (not in the water tank!). The resin has to absorb water to reach
high performance.
The period of time that the cartridge is effective for depends on the hard-
ness of the water. This can be tested using the testing strips provided (test-
ing strip stuck to the Quick Setup Guide).
1. Dip the testing strips into the water for a second.
2. After around one minute the results can be seen on the test strip.
Some of the green fields change colour into pink. The water hardness is
shown by how many boxes turn pink. Example: If three are pink, then the
water hardness is >14 °dH.

With a water hardness above 21 °dH, we can no longer recommend the use
of an ultrasonic humidifier. We recommend that you use an evaporative
humidifier to increase the humidity in your house (e.g. an Oskar humidifier
made by Stadler Form: www.stadlerform.com/Oskar).
Note: Do not operate Eva with decalcified water out of a decalcification
system that uses the principle of an ion exchanger (salt is added to the wa-
ter). The salt contained in the water may lead to white dust accumulation
around the appliance. However, Eva may be operated from a drinking water
filter system (e.g. Brita). Should you be unsure about the quality or composi-
tion of the water in your area, contact the caretaker or your drinking water
provider.
