Checking the water hardness

The water hardness setting can be adjusted
on this appliance. It is important to set the
water hardness correctly, so that the appli-
ance indicates accurately when the descal-
ing programme should be run. The factory
setting for the water hardness is 4.
You can check the water hardness using
the enclosed test strip or by asking your
local water supplier. Dip the test strip briefly
in water, gently shake off any drips, and
check the result after one minute.
