The hardness of tap water may vary from region to region. For this
reason, the appliance may be adjusted according to the degree of
hardness of the water in the place it will be used in; hardness is
measured on a scale of 1 to 4.
The appliance is already programmed for an average value
(hardness 3). The appliance setting should be adjusted according to
the actual hardness of the water, which can be measured using the
test strip provided.
Briefly dip (1 second) the test strip provided in water and
