fill with fresh water up to the MAX level, then put back in
the appliance.
The descaling cycle is now complete.
Please note!
If the descaling cycle is not completed correctly (e.g. no
electricity) we recommend repeating the cycle;
After descaling, it is normal for the grounds container
(A11) to contain water.
If the water tank has not been filled to the MAX level, at
the end of descaling, the appliance requests a third rinse to
guarantee that the descaler solution has been complete-
ly eliminated from the machine's internal circuits. Before
starting rinsing, remember to empty the drip tray;
The appliance may request descaling cycles at very short
intervals. This is normal and due to the appliance's ad-
vanced control system.

SETTING WATER HARDNESS

The "DESCALING NEEDED PRESS OK TO START (~45MIN)
" message is displayed after a period of time established
according to water hardness.
The machine is set by default for a hardness value of "4". The
machine can also be programmed according to the hardness
of the mains water in the various regions so that the machine
needs to be descaled less often.

14.1 Measuring water hardness

1. Remove the TOTAL HARDNESS TEST indicator paper (D1)
from its pack (attached to the English instructions).
2. Immerse the paper completely in a glass of water for one
second.
3. Remove the paper from the water and shake lightly. After
about a minute, 1, 2, 3, or 4 red squares form, depending
on the hardness of the water. Each square corresponds to
one level.
