6.1| MEASURING THE WATER
HARDNESS
You must set your machine depending on the
hardness of your water, from 0 to 4. To do this,
follow these instructions:
1| Before using the appliance for the fi st time,
check the hardness of your water so that you
can set the appliance accordingly. This opera-
tion should also be carried out when you use
your machine in a place where the hardness
of the water is different or if you notice a
difference in the hardness of the water.
2| To check the water hardness, use the test
strip
22
supplied with your machine or con-
tact your local water authority.
The details of the classes are given in the table below:
DEGREE OF HARDNESS CLASSE 0 CLASSE 1 CLASSE 2 CLASSE 3 CLASSE 4
° dH < 3° > 4° > 7° > 14° > 21°
° e < 3.75° > 5° > 8.75° > 17.5° > 26.25°
° f < 5.4° > 7.2° > 12.6° > 25.2° > 37.8°
Appliance setting 0 – very soft 1 – soft 2 – average
hardness
3 – hard 4 – very hard
3| Fill a glass of water and insert a strip (figu e
B1 – B2).
4| Put the strip back out of the glass. After 1
minute read the level of water hardness (fi -
ure B3 – B4).

figuring the appliance (figu e B6).
6.2| FILTER INSTALLATION
