TEFAL allows you to optimise the lifetime of your cartridge.
Before setting your cartridge lifetime indicator, check the hardness of
your tap water. To do this, fill a glass follow "tap" with "water" = amend
format. Briefly immerse (for 1 second) one of the strips provided with
your jug
(fig. 9 and 10). Dry the strip to remove excess water. Wait
one minute and compare the colour based on the following
indications:
• The strip is a light green colour
("A" fig. 10): the tap water is not
very hard, you can set your electronic cartridge lifetime indicator to
six bars. The cartridge can be used for up to a maximum of 45 days.
• The strip is a pink colour
("B" fig. 10): the tap water is hard, you
can set your electronic cartridge lifetime indicator to four bars. The
cartridge can be used for up to a maximum of 30 days.
You can activate your electronic indicator according to water hardness
as follows:
• First press the “RESET” button. Then press the “RESET” button again
and hold for a few seconds until the arrow moves to the desired
position: H for hard water, S for soft water
(fig. 11a).
• HARD WATER SETTING: When the arrow is beside the letter H,
four fixed bars are displayed and the arrow flashes. Release the
“RESET” button and wait until the arrow disappears. Your
indicator is then set for hard water
(fig. 11b).
• Filter 1 litre of water immediately after activating the electronic
indicator.
• SOFT WATER SETTING: When the arrow is beside the letter S,
quickly press the “RESET” button once, six fixed bars are displayed
and the arrow flashes. Release the “RESET” button and wait until
the arrow disappears. Your indicator is then set for soft water
(fig.
11a).
• Filter 1 litre of water immediately after activating the electronic
indicator.
• When the cartridge needs replacing, the arrow flashes
(fig.11c).
NOTE: for electronic meters, at the end of the cartridge lifetime,
the display flashes until it is turned off (standby mode) to save
battery. When you have replaced the cartridge, reactivate the
display as indicated in the paragraph "ACTIVATING THE
ELECTRONIC CARTRIDGE LIFETIME INDICATOR".
