2 Preparing and using your IMPRESSA for the first time

The harder the water is, the more frequently the IMPRESSA needs to

be descaled. It is therefore important to set the water hardness.

However, if you are using the CLARIS plus filter cartridge and

have activated the filter, you will not be able to adjust the

water hardness.

The water hardness is set to level 3 in the factory.

The symbols in the symbol display show the configured degree of

water hardness. The number of symbols corresponds to the relevant

level.

You can find out what the water hardness is, using the Aquadur®

test strips enclosed in the Welcome Pack.

Hold the test strip briefly (for one second) under flowing

mains water. Shake off the water.

Wait for about 1 minute.

You will then be able to read the degree of water hardness

from the discoloration of the Aquadur® test strip and the

description on the packaging.

You can now configure the water hardness.
