Checking the water hardness
You can measure water hardness using the ‘paper test strip’ supplied
with your appliance. For information about water hardness in your
region please contact your local water board.
Using the ‘paper test strip’
Dip the test strip in water for 1 second. Wait 1 minute and read the
number of bars on the paper strip. Check the table for the correct water
hardness setting.
Setting the water hardness
1. Compare the test strip with the image on the display.
2. Tap the bars on the display until they concur with the test strip.
3. Press on the confirm button to save the set water hardness.
The equipment has now been programmed so that the descaling
notification will appear in accordance with the actual water hardness.
