The maker's water guidance
From Profitec's guidance for this model.
Hardness, highest: up to 4 °dH
“Maschine nicht mit kohlensäurehaltigem Wasser, sondern nur mit weichem Trinkwasser (bis 4° dH = Grad deutscher Härte) betreiben.”
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 degree. If these measures are insufficient, a prophylactic descaling of the machine is possible.”
Descaling
“A regular descaling of the machine is recommended in order to avoid strong calcification and expensive repairs. While descaling, always take into account the hardness degree of the water. It is very important to use a sparing descaler which does not affect the metal.”
