The DESCALE message is displayed after a period of time establi-
shed according to the water hardness setting. 
The machine is set by default for a hardness value of 4.
The machine can also be programmed according to the hardness 
of the mains water in the your area so that the machine needs to 
be descaled less often.

its pack (attached to the English instructions). 

2.   Immerse the paper completely in a glass of water for one 

second. 

3.   Remove the paper from the water and shake lightly. After 

about a minute, 1, 2, 3, or 4 red squares form, depending 
on the hardness of the water. Each square corresponds to 
one level.

2.   Press < or > to select “Water hardness”.
3.   Press the OK button to confirm the selection.
4.   Press < or > and set the hardness level as measured by the 

indicator strip (see the fig. in the previous paragraph). 

5.   Press the OK button to confirm the setting. 
6.   Press the MENU/ESC button to exit the menu. 
The machine is now reprogrammed with the new water

Certain models are fitted with a water softener filter. If this is not 
the case with your model, you are recommended to purchase 
one from De’Longhi Customer Experience. 
To use the filter correctly, follow the instructions below. 

1.   Remove the filter from 

the packaging.

2.   Turn the date indicator 

disk (fig. 44) until the 
next two months of use 
are displayed.

The filter lasts about two 
months if the appliance is used 
normally. If the coffee machine 
is left unused with the filter in-

stalled, it will last a maximum of three weeks.
3.  To activate the filter, run tap water through the hole in the 

filter as shown in the figure until water comes out of the 
openings at the side for more than a minute (fig. 45).
