4. Adjusting your machine to the water hardness
The IMPRESSA heats up water. As a result, calcification occurs during normal use. This is indicated automatically. The IMPRESSA must therefore be adjusted to the hardness of the water used. Use the supplied test sticks to determine the water hardness or contact your local waterworks.
1° German hardness is equivalent to 1.79° French hardness.
