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 86).
