strip to determine the water hardness:
• Insert the strip for one second into the water you want to
use. Shake off any access water and wait for one minute.
One or more sections of the indicator strip will turn reddish.
• Change the water hardness setting according to the table below.

Tip: If your tap water falls into the categories "very hard or
extremely hard" we recommend using bottled water. Please
note: If you use the Clearyl Filter with such hard water we
recommend decalcifying the machine once or twice a year
(chapter 18.3).
Please note: If you use Spring Water or Bottled Water you can
set the hardness level to 3ºdH, "extremely soft water".
16.1 CHANGING THE WATER HARDNESS MONITOR
READY
• Push and hold the P button (Fig. 4) until the display shows
RINSE.
• Turn the Rotary Dial until the display shows HARDNESS
• Push the Rotary Dial The display shows 10º dH.
• Turn the Rotary Dial until desired hardness level is displayed.
• Push the Rotary Dial to confirm the setting.
OK.
• Push the P button. READY
The machine will automatically remind you when it is time to
decalcify (chapter 18.3).
Please note: You can set the hardness monitor to INACTIVE.
In this case you must use distilled water.
17. CLEARYL WATER FILTER CARTRIDGE
To avoid decalcifying and to always have fresh water we recom-
mend using the Clearyl Water Filter. The ENA comes with one
Clearyl Water Filter Cartridge.
To reorder cartridges, see chapter 31.
The Clearyl cartridge
• transforms your tap water into pH-neutral water and reduces
water hardness up to 75%,
• cleans the water through an upward current principle (Fig. 8)
just before the brewing cycle starts, ensuring freshly filtered
water every time you make coffee,
• removes (if present) up to 85% chlorine, up to 90% lead, up to
95% copper and up to 67% aluminum,
• contains only pure organic materials (ion exchangers and
active carbon) with no chemical additives,
• preserves fluorides and minerals,
• eliminates decalcifying except when using very hard
water (20 grains or higher), see chapter 16. In this case we
recommend to decalcify the machine once a year.
17.1 INSTALLING AND ACTIVATING THE CLEARYL FILTER
Important
: Never install the cartridge before or during
"Preparing Machine For The First Time" (chapter 6).
