Ⅲ Press rinsing key .
If the machine has been switched off and has already cooled
down it will be necessary to carry out this rinsing function
when the machine is switched on again.
After switching off the machine, the rinsing sets off automa-
tically.
6. Adjusting for water hardness
The water is heated inside the machine. With use, this leads to
calcium deposits (furring) forming on the machine. This will be
automatically indicated on the display.
For this reason, it is necessary to adjust the machine to the
hardness of your local water before you use it for the first time.
Use the enclosed test-sticks for this purpose.
1° water hardness on the German scale represents 1.79° on
the French scale.
The machine has got 5 hardness settings to choose from. While
adjusting the chosen grade is shown on the display.
The symbols on the display mean:
HARDNESS
LEVEL – – water hardness function is switched off
HARDNESS German water hardness 1 – 7°
LEVEL 1 French water hardness 1.79 – 12.53°
HARDNESS German water hardness 8 – 15°
LEVEL 2 French water hardness 14.32 – 26.85°
HARDNESS German water hardness 16 – 23°
LEVEL 3 French water hardness 28.64 – 41.14°
HARDNESS German water hardness 24 – 30°
LEVEL 4 French water hardness 42.96 – 53.7°
The machine is adjusted to hardness level 3 before it leaves the
