Measuring and Programming Water Hardness

Water hardness measuring is very important in order to define the machine descaling frequency and to install the “INTENZA+” water filter (for more details on the water filter, see next chapter).

To measure the water hardness follow the steps below:

Immerse the water hardness test strip (supplied with the machine) in water for 1 second.

Note:

The test strip can only be used for one single measurement.

Wait for one minute.

Check how many squares have changed to red, then consult this table.

Note:

The numbers on the water hardness test strip correspond to the water hardness adjustment settings.

More precisely:

1 = 1 (very soft water)

2 = 2 (soft water)

3 = 3 (hard water)

4 = 4 (very hard water)

The letters correspond to the references that are located at the base of the “INTENZA+” water filter (see next chapter).

Press the “” button to access the machine main menu.
