Miele B 2847 - Measuring Water Hardness

Ifyoucannotobtaininformationonyour
waterhardnesslevelfromyourlocal
waterauthority,youcanmeasurethe
hardnessyourselfusingtheteststrip
supplied:
^
Dipthestripinyourdrinkingwaterfor
approximatelyonesecond,then
shakeoffanyexcesswater.The
resultwillbeevidentafterabouta
minute.
Setthewaterhardnessaccordingto
thevaluesgiveninthechartbelow.The
programmedwaterhardnesslevelcan
berecognisedbytheflashfrequencyof
theindicatorlight k.

Thesteamironingsystemissetatthe
factorytothehighestwaterhardness
level(70°dH-AU/NZ12.6mmol/l).
Ifthissettingcorrespondstothe
hardnessofyourwater,youdonot
needtodoanythingmore.
Pleasegoto'Switchingon'.
Ifthewaterhardnessinyourareais
different,settheappliancetothe
appropriatelevel.
Wherethewaterhardnessfluctuates
e.g.between1.4-3.1mmol/l(8-17°d
Germanscale),alwaysprogrammethe
appliancetothehighervalue(3.1
mmol/linthisexample).
Intheeventofafault,itwillhelpthe
servicetechnicianifyouknowthe
hardnessofyourlocalwatersupply.
