1 Preparing and using for the first time
When you use the machine for the first time, you must set the water
hardness. If you do not know the hardness of your water, you can
find this out first. Use the Aquadur® test strips supplied with the
machine.
T Hold the test strip briefly (for 1second) under flowing water.
Shake off the water.
T Wait for about 1minute.
T You will then be able to read the degree of water hardness
from the discoloration of the Aquadur® test strip and the
description on the packaging.
