4. Adjusting the water hardness
Water is heated in the IMPRESSA. As a result, calcification
occurs during normal use and is indicated automatically.
Before using the IMPRESSA for the first time the hardness
of the water used must be adjusted. Use the supplied test
sticks for this.
1° German hardness is equivalent to 1.79° French hardness.
If the filter is activated, the program step Water Hardness no
longer appears.
The IMPRESSA has 5 hardness degrees which can be used
and are displayed while you are adjusting the water hardness.
The displayed information means the following:
LEVEL –– Water hardness function switched off
LEVEL 1 German water hardness degree 1 to 7°
French Water hardness degree 1.79 – 12.53°
LEVEL 2 German water hardness degree 8 to 15°
French Water hardness degree 14.32 – 26.85°
LEVEL 3 German water hardness degree 16 to 23°
French Water hardness degree 28.64 – 41.14°
LEVEL 4 German water hardness degree 24 to 30°
French Water hardness degree 42.96 – 53.7°
