Measuring and Programming Water Hardness

Water hardness measuring is very important in order to defi ne the descal-
ing frequency and to install the "INTENZA+" water fi lter (for more detail on
the water fi lter, see next chapter).
To measure the water hardness follow the steps below:
1 Immerse the water hardness test strip (supplied with the machine) in
water for 1 second.
Note:
The test strip can only be used for one single measurement.
2
Wait for one minute.
3
Check how many squares have changed to the color red and then refer
to the table.
Note:
The numbers on the water hardness test strip correspond to the water
hardness adjustment settings.
More precisely:
1 = 1 (very soft water)
2 = 2 (soft water)
3 = 3 (hard water)
4 = 4 (very hard water)
The letters correspond to the references that are located at the base of the
"INTENZA+" water fi lter (see next chapter).

Press the " " button and scroll the pages by pressing the " " button
until the following icon is displayed.
