14. SETTING WATER HARDNESS
The DESCALE message is displayed after a period of time estab-
lished according to water hardness.
The machine is set by default for a hardness value of 4. The ma-
chine 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.
