7 Before using for the first time
Configure the settings for initial start-up. Clean the appliance and accessories.
7.1 Before using for the first time
Before using the appliance for the first time, ask your
water supplier about the hardness of your tap water. To
ensure that the appliance can reliably remind you to
descale it when required, you must set your water hard-
ness range correctly.
ATTENTION!
If the wrong water hardness has been set, the appli-
ance cannot remind you to descale it at the right time.
Set the water hardness correctly.
▶
Using unsuitable liquids may damage the appliance.
Do not use distilled water, highly chlorinated tap wa-
▶
ter (>40 mg/l) or other liquids.
Only use cold, fresh tap water, softened water or
▶
non-carbonated mineral water.

ply for the first time or following a lengthy power cut,
you must configure the settings before you can use it. It
may take a few seconds for the settings to appear on
the display.

Accessories vary from one appliance to another. When
purchasing accessories, always quote the exact
product number (E no.) of your appliance.
You can find out which accessories are available for
your appliance in our online shop or from our after-
sales service.
Malfunctions may occur when using filtered or deminer-
alised water. The appliance may request that you top
up the water tank even though it may be full, or opera-
tion with steam is cancelled after approx. two minutes.

Tip: If you use mineral water, set the water hardness
range to "very hard". If you use mineral water, you must
only use non-carbonated mineral water.
Tip: If your tap water is very hard, we recommend that
you use softened water. If you use only softened water,
you can set your appliance to the "softened" water
hardness range.
