Prior to first use the Café Barista™ should be adjusted to the relevant degree of water hardness for your region. Water hardness refers to the mineral content of your local water supply. You may determine the hardness degree using the supplied test strips.

•Dip the test strip into cold water for 1 second. Shake off the excess water and the degree of water hardness is determined according to the number of pink-coloured squares.
