Water is heated in the IMPRESSA F50/F5. As a result, cal-
cification occurs during normal use and is indicated auto-
matically. Before using the IMPRESSA F50/F5 for the first
time the hardness of the water used must be adjusted. Use
the supplied test sticks for this.

If the filter is activated, the program step Water Hardness no
