MAINTENANCE
Set the water hardness
The appliance is set by default for a hardness level of 4. The appliance can also be
programmed according to the hardness of the mains water in the various regions. The
appliance needs to be descaled less often if this hardness level is lower.
Immerse the 'total hardness test' indicator paper (attached to the instructions) in a glass of water
for one second.
After about a minute, red squares can be seen.
The appliance is now programmed with the new water hardness setting.
Install a water softener filter
Certain models are fitted with a water softener filter. If this is not the case with your model,
you are recommended to purchase one from the service department.
Please note
The filter lasts about two months if the appliance is used normally. If the coffee machine is
left unused with the filter installed, it will last a maximum of 3 weeks.
