Sprada TX5 - Setting the water hardness

12
WARNING! Even when the machine is not in regular use, filters should
be replaced at least every 2 months. Do not wait for the “Change
Filter” message to appear on the display!
3.1.2 Operating without a lter
If the machine is to be operated without a filter, it must be set to
the “Filter No” mode. This is important because operating without a
filter will require the machine to be descaled more frequently as the
machine is pre-set in the factory for operation without a filter (“Filter
No”).
 Turn the right rotary knob to “Setting”. Now press the right rotary
knob.
 Turn the right rotary knob to “Filter”. Now press the right rotary
knob.
 Turn the right rotary knob to “Filter No”.
 Press the right rotary knob to conrm your selection.
The “Setting Filter” message will appear on the display.
 Turn the right rotary knob to “Setting Exit”. Now press the right
rotary knob.
The first menu level will appear on the display. The machine is now
ready for use.
WARNING! Please do not forget to select a water hardness setting
if you intend to operate without a filter (see Point 3.2).
3.2 Setting the water hardness
Sooner or later (depending on local water hardness conditions),
your machine will require descaling. In order for the machine to tell
you when descaling is necessary, you must select the correct water
hardness setting before using the machine for the first time.
When using a filter, and provided the correct settings have been made
(see Point 3.1 above), water hardness will automatically be set inside
the machine to level 1. Before leaving the factory, water hardness is
set to LEVEL 3.
Start by testing the quality of the water to be used in your machine
with the test strip provided:
 Dip the test strip briey into your water sample and then shake
o any excess water.
 Wait for approximately 1 minute and then take your reading by
counting the red dots on the test strip.
 The level settings are indicated as follows:
Test Strip/Degree of Hardness = Display
1 red dot/1–7° = LEVEL 1
2 red dots/8–14° = LEVEL 2
3 red dots/15–21° = LEVEL 3
4 red dots/>21° = LEVEL 4
