Testing strip
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).
