Testing strip
The washing effectiveness of your machine depends on the softness of the tap water. For this reason, your ma -
chine 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).
