Setting water hardness

The operating period can be extended if required, making 

descaling less frequent by programming the machine on the 

basis of the real lime content in the water used. 

Proceed as follows:
• remove the “Total Hardness Test” strip (attached to page 

2) from its packaging then dip it fully in the water for a 

few seconds, Then remove and wait about 30 seconds 

(until it changes colour and forms red squares).

• turn the appliance on by pressing the ON/OFF/stand-by 

button (A7).

• Press the  

 icon (B2) to enter the menu and then the 

icons (B7) and (B8) until “WATER HARDNESS” is 

displayed. 

• Press the OK icon (B9).
• Press the 

 icons (B7) and (B8) until the number 

coincides with the number of red squares on the test strip 

(for example, if there are 3 red squares on the test strip, 

select the message “WATER HARDNESS 3” 

• Press the OK icon (B9) to confirm. 

  The coffee maker is now programmed to provide the 

descale warning when actually necessary.

and given on the descaler pack. 

 N.B.:

Use the descaler recommended by the manufacturer only. 

Use of other descalers invalidates the guarantee.
