17. ADJUSTING THE WATER HARDNESS
Over time, heated water inside the machine leads to calcium
deposit build-up, unless you use the Clearyl Water Filter. The
display will remind you when it is time to perform a decalcifying
cycle. The machine is set to level 2 (medium hard water). If you
have harder water you need to set it to a higher level. If you have
softer water you can set it to level 1. If you are not sure about
the hardness of your water, ask your local water company for
the "Water Hardness in Grains."
Level 1: grains 2-9 • Level 2: grains 10-19 • Level 3: grains 20-29
Level 4: grains 30+
You can also use the enclosed water hardness indicator strip to
determine the water hardness:
• Insert the stick for one second into the water you want to

use. Shake off any access water and wait for one minute.

• If all five fields of the test stick turn reddish, set the hardness

level to 4. If four fields turn reddish, set the hardness level to 3.
If three or less fields turn reddish, leave the level in position 2.

• If you use Spring Water you can set the hardness level to 1.
You can change the hardness settings as follows:
