
Before using the steam ironing sys-
tem for the first time, remove all
packaging (e.g. the protective film
from the tower).
Determining water hardness
In order for the steam ironing system to
function properly and to display a mes-
sage prompting you to descale it at the
correct time, it is important to adjust the
steam ironing system to the hardness of
your local water supply.
The water hardness level indicates
how much calcium is dissolved in the
water. The higher the calcium content,
the harder the water, and the harder
the water, the more often the steam
ironing system will need to be de-
scaled.
Your local water supplier can inform you
of the water hardness level in your area.
This information can also be found on-
line on the website of the relevant utility
company.
As an alternative, you can also determ-
ine the approximate water hardness by
using the test strips supplied.
Using the test strips

Dip the test strip in the water for ap-
prox. 1 second.

Remove the test strip from the water
and shake the water off the test strip.
After approx. 1 minute, and based on
the colouration, you will be able to read
the water hardness from the table be-
low:
Test strips Water hardness
4 green zones < 3 °dH / 0.5 mmol/l
1 red zone < 4 °dH / 0.7 mmol/l
2 red zones < 7 °dH / 1.3 mmol/l
3 red zones < 14 °dH / 2.5 mmol/l
4 red zones < 21 °dH / 3.8 mmol/l
Tip: It is useful to know your water
hardness so that you can provide the
service technician with this information
in the event of any service calls. Please
note your water hardness level here:
