trical power failure) it is advisable to repeat the procedure;
• After descaling, it is normal for the grounds container
(A10) to contain water.
• If the water tank has not been lled to the MAX level after
descaling, the appliance prompts for a third rinse to ensure
that the descaler solution has been completely eliminated
from the machine’s internal circuits. Before starting rins-
ing, remember to empty the drip tray.
17. SETTING WATER HARDNESS
