A - Check your local water hardness
Washing with “hard water” requires more detergent than washing with “soft” water, this is why you have to check if the preset water hardness matches your regional water hardness.
To find out your local water hardness, ask your local water supply authorities, or use the test strip attached to the Calgon Leaflet provided with your washing machine (if available):
Press and hold “Dosing Aid“ and
“+” buttons simultaneously for a few
seconds.
A horizontal bar appears on the
display.
This is the symbol for SOFT water
hardness level.
Press the buttons marked with “+“
or “-” to eventually adjust the water
hardness to “medium“ or “hard“.
Press “Ok” to confirm and save.
2. Water hardness
B - Adjust your water hardness settings
The water hardness of your washing machine by default is set to SOFT. If your local water hardness is medium or hard, you must adapt the water hardness of the washing machine as described below.

knob on any programme
The test strip contains 4 green
squares which will turn to red
depending on the hardness of
your water:
