SETTING WATER HARDNESS  
The  
message comes on after a period of  
time established according to water hardness.  
The machine is set by default for a hardness va-  
lue of 4 (very hard water).  
Place an empty container with a minimum  
capacity of 1.5 litres under the hot water  
spout.  
The machine can also be programmed according  
to the hardness of the mains water in the various  
regions so that the machine needs to be descaled  
less often.

water for one second.  
3. Remove the paper from the water and shake  
lightly. After about a minute, 1, 2, 3, or 4 red  
squares form, depending on the hardness of  
the water. Each square corresponds to one  
level.  
5. Press the  
button and hold it down for  
at least 5 seconds to confirm that you have  
added the solution and begin the descaling

ELECTRICAL REqUIREMENTS  
Before using this appliance ensure that the voltage indicated on the product corresponds  
with the main voltage in your home, if you are in any doubt about your supply contact your  
local electricity company.  
The flexible mains lead is supplied connected to a B.S. 1363 fused plug having a fuse of 13  
amp capacity.  
Should this plug not fit the socket outlets in your home, it should be cut off and replaced with  
a suitable plug, following the procedure outlined below.  
Note: Such a plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should therefore be properly  
disposed of and not left where children might find it and plug it into a supply socket - with  
the obvious consequent danger.  
N.B. We recommend the use of good quality plugs and wall sockets that can be switched off  
when the machine is not in use.  
IMPORTANT: the wires in the mains lead fitted to this appliance are coloured in accordance  
with the following code:  
Green and Yellow to Earth  
13 amp  
Fuse  
GREEN AND YELLOW  
BLUE  
BROWN  
EARTH  
NEUTRAL  
LIVE  
Brown to  
live  
Blue to  
neutral  
Cord Clamp  
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the  
coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:  
-
The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the  
plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol  
green and yellow.  
or coloured green or  
-
-
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with  
the letter N or coloured black.  
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked  
with the letter L or coloured red.  
When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are securely retained in each terminal.  
Do not forget to tighten the mains lead clamp on the plug. If your electricity supply point has  
only two pin socket outlets, or if you are in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.  
Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this operation be carried  
out by a qualified electrician and should only be replaced with a flexible cord of the same  
size.  
After replacement of a fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover  
is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. The colour of the  
correct replacement fuse cover is that of the coloured insert in the base of the fuse recess or  
elsewhere on the plug. Always state this colour when ordering a replacement fuse cover.  
Only 13amp replacement fuses which are asta approved to B.S. 1362 should be fitted.  
This appliance conforms to the Norms EN 55014 regarding the suppression of radio inter-  
ference.  
Warning - this appliance must be earthed
