8.8 Setting the water hardness
Setting the water hardness regulates how frequently you are requested to
descale the appliance. The harder the water, the more frequently the appli-
ance has to be descaled.
Information
The water hardness cannot be set if you use a water lter. The water hard-
ness is automatically set to 1 = soft (see section8.9 Using a water lter on
page85).
Determine the water hardness with the enclosed test strip. Observe the
instructions on the test strip packaging and in the table Water hardness
range on page89.
