Setting the water hardness

Setting the water hardness regulates how frequently you are requested to
descale the appliance. The harder the water, the more frequently the appli-
ance has to be descaled.
Information
The water hardness cannot be set if you use a water filter. The water hard-
ness is automatically set to 1 = soft (see section 8.9 Using a water filter on
page 85).
Determine the water hardness with the enclosed test strip. Observe the
instructions on the test strip packaging and in the table Water hardness
range on page 89.
