Water Hardness Measurement; Intenza Water Filter - Saeco RI9837/05 Operating Instructions Manual

Water hardness measurement

The water hardness measurement is very
important in order to correctly manage
the "Intenza" fi lter and the frequency with
which the machine must be descaled.
Immerse the water hardness test strip
provided with the machine in water for
1 second.
Check how many squares change colour
and refer to the table.
The letters correspond to the references
that are located in the base of the Intenza
fi lter. The fi lter must be adjusted based on
this measurement.

Intenza Water Filter

To improve the quality of the used water,
it is recommended that you install the
water fi lter.
Remove the small white filter from the
tank and store it in a dry place sheltered
from dust.
Remove the water fi lter from its packag-
ing, immerse it vertically (with the open-
ings positioned upwards) in cold water
and gently press its sides so as to let the
air bubbles out.
Set the Intenza Aroma System as specifi ed
on the box.
A = Soft water
B = Hard water (standard)
C = Very hard water
Insert the filter in the empty tank. The
reference mark and the groove must
match. Push fi rmly until it is completely
inserted.
Fill the tank with fresh drinking water and
re-insert it into the machine.
Dispense the water in the tank by using
the hot water function (see section "Hot
Water Dispensing").
Fill the water tank again.
Press the ON/OFF button to change the
machine status to stand-by mode.
