Testing strip
The washing effectiveness of your machine de-
pends 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).
