Setting the water hardness range

Descale your appliance regularly. This is the only way to
prevent damage.
Your appliance automatically displays when it needs descaling.
It has been preset to water hardness range "medium". Change
the value if your water is softer or harder.
You can check the water hardness with the test strips supplied
or ask your water supplier.
If your water is very hard, we recommend that you use softened
water.
You can only dispense with descaling completely if you
exclusively use softened water. If this is the case, change the
water hardness to "softened".
