  • Hardness, highest: up to 4 °dH

    “Setzen Sie gegebenenfalls einen Wasserfilter / Wasserenthärter ein. Sollte dies nicht ausreichen, um eine Wasserhärte von bis 4° dH zu erreichen, ist zum Schutz der Maschine vor Kalkschäden auch eine vorbeugende, periodische Entkalkung möglich.”

  • Softened water

    “When necessary, make use of a water softener / water filter cartridge in order to reach an adequate hardness level. If these measures are insufficient, a prophylactic descaling of the machine may be required. Contact your specialised dealer before undertaking this measure. Follow our descaling instructions (see page 23).”
