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 shake it gently. After
