Water hardness
The appliance is equipped with a system that automatically indicates when it is time to
descale. The system can be optimized for households with soft water (also through using
a water softening appliance) and medium water hardness by changing the user settings
to the relevant range of water hardness.
There are 4 setting ranges for the water hardness. The number of red squares that form
on the test strip indicates the water hardness and corresponds to the level to be set for
the appliance. The higher the number of red squares, the harder the water. The default
setting for water hardness is «Level 4».
