It is important to set the water hard-
ness correctly, so that the appliance
indicates accurately when the
descaling programme should be run.
You can check the water hardness using
the enclosed test strip or by asking your
local water supplier. If a water softening
system is installed in the house, please
select the Softening system setting.
■ Briefly dip the test strip in the water and
check the result after one minute.

system 4b and the suction pipe 4d.

Rinsing the filter simultaneously
activates the setting for displaying the
message "Please change water filter".
When this message appears, or at
the latest after two months, the filter
will no longer be effective. It needs to
be replaced for reasons of hygiene
and to prevent a build-up of limescale
(which could damage the appliance).
If you do not intend to insert a new filter,
select the setting No filter and touch B
to confirm.
