What to do before first using the machine

Measure the water hardness and select the type of detergent: traditional or multi-purpose

First of all, in one simple action, you can test the lime content in your water using the testing strip supplied with your dishwasher or you can contact your local water utility to find out how hard your water is.

1. Turn on the tap and let the water run for a few minutes. 2. Fill a glass with water.

3.Take the testing strip out of its casing and immerse it for 3 seconds.

4.Wait 1 minute, shake the strip and look at the colours to find out how hard your water is.
