3.4 Determining water hardness

Water hardness range 4 has been pre-entered on the appliance. If the hardness of the water in your household should deviate from this value, the correct water hardness range (between 1

and 4) must be entered before commencing operation of the appliance. You can find out the hardness of the water in your household either by consulting your waterworks or by using the included test strip.

–Run water from the tap for about 20 seconds to drain off stale water.

–Fill a glass with tap water and briefly (no more than 1 second) dip the test strip into the water, making sure that all test points are wetted.

–Remove the strip from the water and shake off any surplus water drops.

–You can read off the result after one minute.

–If your water contains lime, one or more of the test areas is/are of a reddish colour and the others stay light or greenish. The number of light (green) areas defines the right water hardness range setting on the appliance.

The test set must be used even if a water descaling system is already installed in your household because, depending on the descaling method, not all scale-forming ions are removed.
