Measuring and setting water hardness
How frequently the appliance alerts you that a descale is required, is determined by
the level of water hardness. The appliance has a default water hardness setting of 4.
However, to ensure the continued high performance of your coffee maker, it is important
to measure the water hardness before the first use.

Immerse the paper completely in a glass of water for one second.

Remove the paper and shake lightly. After about a minute, a number of red squares
