Dispose it with your regular household trash.
• Make sure the water tank is empty.
• Remove cartridge from its bag.
• Open water container lid and pull up the holder for the
Claris cartridge (Fig.10).
• Insert the cartridge with its tapered end down. Make sure it
fits snugly over the white mesh piece inside the water
container. Push down gently (Fig.11).
• Close the holder for the cartridge so that it engages in the
water tank (Fig.12).

17. ADJUSTING THE WATER HARDNESS
Important: If the Claris Cartridge is activated (see chapter 16a)
this chapter does not apply.
The water is heated inside the machine. With use, this leads to
calcium deposits forming inside the machine. 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."
HARDNESS LEVEL 1: grains 2-9
HARDNESS LEVEL 2: grains 10-19
HARDNESS LEVEL 3: grains 20-29
HARDNESS 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.
You can change the hardness settings as follows:
SELECT PRODUCT
• Push and hold the P button (Fig. 3e) until you hear a beep.
The display will show two red arrows and FILTER NO.
• Touch the right hand arrow once and the display shows:
HARDNESS LEVEL 2.
• Touch ST@RT until you hear a beep. The 2 starts blinking.
• Touch the left or right arrow until the desired number
appears: 1, 2, 3, 4 or –.
• Touch ST@RT to confirm. The number stops blinking.
• Push the P button to return to SELECT PRODUCT
