The appliance is fitted with a resin lime-
scale filter enabling normal tap water to be
used.
The impregnated resins reduce water hardness
and therefore prolong the working life of the
appliance.
CFis displayed when the limescale fil-
ter needs replacing. The efficacy of the filter
depends on water hardness. It should, howe-
ver, be replaced every five years.
Setting water hardness
Measurewaterhardnessusingtheindicatorpa-
