Checking the water hardness
Your appliance has been designed to be used with tap water. If you live in
an area with very hard water, fast scale build-up will occur. It is therefore
recommended to check the water hardness first with the test strips
provided.
1 Dip the test strip in tap water for 1 second.
2 Shake the strip for 60 seconds.
3 Check how many squares on the test strip have changed colour and
compare with the details in the water hardness table below.
