FIRST USE

Danger: Connect the appliance to a grounded outlet. Voltage 220 - 240V. Failure to do so means that
you run the risk of fatal injury due to electricity! Respect the safety guidelines (see section
"Safety guidelines").

INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE

n
Place your machine on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface away from water splashes and sources
of heat. Ensure that the location chosen is sufficiently well ventilated, as the appliance gives off
heat. Please do not place the appliance on surfaces such as marble. Remove the protective films
from the display and grids.

3.1 Before first use

n
Before using the appliance for the first time, check the hardness of your water so that you can set the
appliance accordingly. This operation should also be carried out when you use your machine in a place
where the hardness of the water is different or if you notice a difference in the hardness of the water.
To check the water hardness, use the stick supplied with your machine or contact your local water
authority.

Measuring the water hardness

n
Fill a glass of water and immerse the stick in it for 5 seconds. Wait for a minute before reading the water
hardness. You will be asked for the hardness level shown (from 0 to 4) during the initial setup of the
machine. The red zones on the stick indicate the degree of hardness: class 0 = no red zone, i.e. your
water has a very low mineral content. Your water is more or less hard depending on the number of red
zones. The details of the classes are given in the table below:
