Measuring and Programming Water Hardness
Measuring water hardness is very important for defi ning the frequency in
which the machine has to be descaled and to install the "INTENZA+" water
fi lter (for more detail on the water fi lter see next chapter).
To measure the water hardness follow the steps below:
1
Immerse the water hardness test strip (supplied with the machine) in
water for 1 second.
Note:
The test strip can only be used for one measurement.
2
Wait for one minute.
3
Check how many squares have changed the colour to red and then
consult the table.
Note:
The numbers on the water hardness test strip correspond to the water
hardness adjustment settings.
More precisely:
1 = 1 (very soft water)
2 = 2 (soft water)
3 = 3 (hard water)
4 = 4 (very hard water)
The letters correspond to the references that are located at the base of the
"INTENZA+" water fi lter (see next chapter).
4
Press the "
" MENU button and scroll the pages by pressing the "
MENU button until the following icon is displayed.
Note:
The machine is supplied with standard water hardness setting, suitable for
most types of water.
