• Press the button (the light over the button comes on) then press the button repeatedly until
the appliance displays:

• Press the button until the appliance displays the required coffee temperature.
• Press the button to confirm the temperature selected;
• Press the button to exit programming mode or to change other parameters.
16.5 Changing the length of time the appliance remains on

16.6 Setting water hardness
The descale message is displayed after the appliance has been operated for a factory set period of time cal-
culated on the basis of the maximum quantity of lime scale which may be contained in the water used.
If necessary, this period of operation can be extended, making descaling less frequent, by programming the
appliance based on the actual lime content in the water used.
Proceed as follows:
• remove the "Total Hardness Test" strip (enclosed on page 2) from its packaging then dip it fully in the
water for a few seconds. Remove it and wait around 30 seconds (until it changes color and a number of
red dots are formed);
• Turn the appliance on by pressing the button (fig. 6).
• Press the button then press the button repeatedly until the appliance displays:
WATER HARDNESS 4
• Press the button repeatedly until the number coincides with the number of red squares on the
test strip (for example, if there are 3 red squares on the test strip, press the button until WATER HARD-
NESS 3 is displayed).
• Press the button to confirm the value; The coffee maker is now programmed to provide the desca-
ling warning when necessary, based on the actual hardness of the water.
