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 completely
eliminated from the machine's internal circuits.
•
The appliance may request descaling cycles at very short
intervals. This is normal and due to the appliance's ad-
vanced control system.
16. SETTING WATER HARDNESS
The descale message is displayed after a period of time estab-
lished according to water hardness.
The machine is set by default for a hardness level of 4. The ma-
chine 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.
16.1 Measuring water hardness
1. Remove the "TOTAL HARDNESS TEST" indicator paper (C1)
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;
soft water (level 1)
slightly hard water (level 2)
hard water (level 3)
very hard water (level 4)
16.2 Setting water hardness
1. Press
(B6) to enter the "Settings" menu;
2. Press the selection arrows (B2 and B4) until "General" is
displayed between the two lines. Press OK;
3. Press the selection arrows until "Water hardness" is dis-
played, then press OK;
4. The current selection appears on the display and the new
selection flashes. Press the selection arrows until the re-
quired new selection is displayed. Press OK.
The new level is saved and the appliance goes back to the "Gen-
eral" menu.
Press
/ESC (B5) twice to go back to the main screen.
17. WATER SOFTENER FILTER
Certain models are fitted with a water softener filter (C4). If this
is not the case with your model, you are recommended to pur-
chase one from De'Longhi Customer Services.
To use the filter correctly, follow the instructions below.
17.1 Installing the filter
