descaling. You can use the enclosed
test strip to determine the water hard-
ness, or ask your local water com-
pany.
1. Briefly dip the test strip in fresh tap
water.
2. Allow the water to drip off the test
strip.
a The test strip will indicate the water
hardness after 1minute.

stalled in your house, select
"Softening system".

shows the desired water hardness.
