17. ADJUSTING THE WATER HARDNESS
Water is heated inside the machine. With use, this leads to
calcium deposits forming inside the machine. The display will
remind you when it is time to perform a decalcifying cycle. The
machine is set to level 2 (medium hard water). If you have
harder water you need to set it to a higher level. If you have
softer water you can set it to level 1. If you are not sure about
the hardness of your water, ask your local water company for
the "Water Hardness in Grains."
HARDNESS LEVEL 1: grains 2-9
HARDNESS LEVEL 2: grains 10-19
HARDNESS LEVEL 3: grains 20-29
HARDNESS LEVEL 4: grains 30+
You can also use the enclosed water hardness indicator strip to
determine the water hardness:
• Insert the stick for one second into the water you want to
use. Shake off any access water and wait for one minute.
• If all five fields of the test stick turn reddish, set the hardness
level to 4. If four fields turn reddish, set the hardness level to 3.
If three or less fields turn reddish, leave the level in position 2.
• If you use Spring Water you can set the hardness level to 1.
You can change the hardness settings as follows:
1.Push and hold the P button (Fig. 3d). FILTER –.
2.Turn the Rotary Dial until the display shows HARDNESS.
3.Push the Dial. LEVEL 2.
4.Turn the Dial to select from 1 2 3 4 –.
5.Push the Dial to confirm your selection. HARDNESS.
6.Push the P button. READY.
Important: If you choose the selection "–" the water hardness
monitor is turned off. In this case the machine will NOT remind
you when it is time to decalcify. Turning off the monitor requires
you to either use distilled water only or the Water Filter Cartridge
(chapter 16a).
