3 .10 Determining the water hardness

Before using the coffee machine for the first time, it should be set to the appropriate
water hardness for your region. This means the machine will prompt you to de-scale
after an appropriate number of uses, determined by the hardness of your water. You can
determine the water hardness with the help of the test strip (24) supplied with the
coffee machine.
Proceed as follows:
Dip the test strip into cold tap water for 1 second and shake off the excess water.
After approximately 1 minute, the water hardness can be determined by pink coloured
areas.
