Water hardness

Water hardness is an indication of the amount of minerals dissolved in water. The higher the mineral content, the harder the water. And the harder the water, the more often the coffee machine will need to be descaled.

The coffee machine monitors the quantity of water and steam used. The number of drinks which can be dispensed before the machine needs to be descaled will depend on the water hardness level set.

Set the water hardness level on the coffee machine to the water hardness level for the local area to ensure that the machine functions correctly and is not damaged. This will ensure that the reminder to descale the machine will appear in the display at the correct time.

There is a choice of four water hardness levels:

–Level 1 (soft):

0 - 3 gr/gal (0 - 3 °dH)

–Level 2 (moderate):

4 - 7 gr/gal (4 - 7 °dH)

–Level 3 (hard):

7 - 15 gr/gal (7 - 14 °dH)

–Level 4 (very hard):

15 - 22 gr/gal (14 - 21 °dH)
