Water hardness

A “PLEASE DESCALE!” message is displayed after the appliance has 

been operated for a factory set period of time, calculated on the basis 

of the maximum quantity of lime scale which may be contained in the 

water used. If necessary, this period of operation can be extended, 

making descaling less frequent, by programming the appliance based 

on the actual lime content in the water used. Proceed as follows:

1.  

Remove the “Total Hardness Test” strip (in front of your manual). 

Dip it fully in the water for a few seconds. Remove it and wait 

30 seconds until its colour changes and a number of red dots are 

formed. For example, if there are 3 red dots on the test strip, you 

must set the water hardness level to 3. 

If you no longer have a water hardness test, you can fi nd the data in 

the table below.

2.  

Press the touch key ‘MENU’ (2) and press the scroll touch keys (5 

and 7) until the menu option “WATER HARDNESS” appears. Confi rm 

the menu option with the touch key ‘OK’ (9).

3.  

The display shows the current setting. Press the scroll touch keys 

(5 and 7) until the established hardness level is displayed. Confi rm 

the selection with the touch key ‘OK’. The appliance is now 

programmed to provide the descaling warning when necessary, 

based on the actual hardness of the water.

Information on the hardness of the water in your area can be obtained 

from the local water board. The table below shows the water hardness 

setting your machine requires.
