3. Set water hardness
Depending on water hardness lime scale may build up
in the appliance. This increases the appliance's energy
consumption as lime scale on the heating element can
prevent the water heating effectively. To avoid damage
the appliance must be descaled regularly.
The descaling display helps you with this. .
If the red LED is permanently lit this shows that the
appliance needs to be descaled (see point 6).
The appliance is pre-set for a high level of water
hardness (level 4). You can find out the level of water
hardness in your area by asking your local water
provider or by using water hardness measuring strips
available in the shops. For softer water the descaling
display can be adjusted to descale less often:
