Setting the water hardness
ATTENTION
Device damage due to calcification
Without a decalcification cartridge, the
device may calcify if the water hard-
ness is set incorrectly.
Always work with a decalcification car-
tridge.
Set the device to the local water hard-
ness.
Set the device to the current water
hardness before using it in an area with
a different water hardness (e.g. after a
move).
Note
Your water board or municipal utilities
authority can provide information on
hardness of tap water.
The water hardness is set using the
RESET button. The water hardness
setting is stored until a new setting
(e.g. after a move) is made. The device
is set to the highest water hardness
(level IV) in the factory. The device in-
dicates the set water hardness with
flash pulses.

Note
The anti-calcification effect of the de-
calcification cartridge is activated as
soon as the device is filled with water
and put into operation. Lime in the wa-
ter is absorbed by the granulate in the
decalcification cartridge. Additional de-
calcification is not required.
Note
The granulate in the cartridge can dis-
color on contact with water due to the
mineral content in the water, which is
no cause for concern and has no neg-
ative effects on the device, cleaning
work or the functionality of the car-
tridge.
Note
Do not pause for longer than 15 sec-
onds when setting as the device will
