testing your water hardness

The washing effectiveness of your machine depends on the softness of the tap water. For this
reason, your machine is equipped with a system that reduces the hardness in mains water supply.
The washing effectiveness will increase when the system is correctly set. To find out the water
hardness level of water in your area, contact your local water board or determine water hardness
level by using the test strip (if available).
1. Open the testing strip.
2. Run your cold tap for a minute then fill a cup/glass with water.
3. Dip the testing strip into the water for 1 second.
4. Shake off the excess water and wait 1 minute for the result.
