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.
“CF” is 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
Measurewaterhardnessusingtheindicatorpa-
perprovided.
• Remove the indicator paper from its pack
(V).
• Immersethepapercompletelyinaglassof

• Removethepaperfromthewaterandsha-
ke lightly. After about a minute, 1, 2, 3, 4
or 5 redsquaresappear, depending onthe
hardnessofthewater.Theappliancecanbe
set to three different waterhardness levels
soft(H1),medium(H2)andhard(H3).De-
