14.2 Water hardness

Like any hot water appliance, this espresso
machine must be descaled regularly. Lime
deposits form inside the device and on small
openings (e.g. on the steam nozzle 10).
This impairs the functionality and damages
the device in the long run.
This machine automatically determines
when it is time to descale. When this time is
reached, all LED rings 17, 18, 19 are per-
manently lit. You will not be able to continue
working with the device. It needs to be des-
caled first.
To ensure that this happens at the right time,
you can adjust the water hardness setting to
match your tap water. You can get informa-
tion about your tap water from your water
supplier (e.g. on their website). If you use fil-
tered water, you can adjust the water hard-
ness accordingly. Please follow the
instructions of your water filter manufacturer.
You can choose between three hardness
ranges: soft, medium, hard.
The default setting on delivery is hard.
All information on descaling can be found in
chapter "Descaling" on page 82.
Requirement: the menu is selected. The
3 LED rings 17, 18, 19 flash twice in turn,
one after the other.
1. Press the button
The LED rings 17, 18, 19 briefly indicate
the current hardness range once:
