FIRST USE
All the start-up settings are now set and the display will show the stand-by screen. The appliance
is now ready for use.
The language, time and date can be adjusted in the settings menu (see ‘Settings menu’
chapter). The settings menu can be opened from the start display via the ‘Plus’ menu.
Setting the water hardness
The water hardness must be set prior to initial use. If the water is softer or harder than the default
setting, you can alter the set hardness level.
Checking the water hardness
• You can measure water hardness using the ‘paper test strip’ supplied with your appliance.
For information about water hardness in your region please contact your local water board.
Using the ‘paper test strip’
• Dip the test strip in water for 1 second. Wait 1 minute and read the number of bars on the
paper strip. Check the table for the correct water hardness setting.
Setting the water hardness
1. Compare the test strip with the image on the display.
2. Turn the selection knob until the bars on the screen correspond with those on the test strip.
3. Touch the confirm key to save the set water hardness.
