BEFORE FIRST USE
2.1 Measuring water hardness
n Before using the appliance for the first time or if you have noted a change in water hardness, it is ad-
visable to adapt the appliance to the observed water hardness. To determine the water hardness, use
the measuring stick delivered with the appliance or get in contact with your water board. The appliance
will ask you for the hardness of your water on first use (see First use / Setting machine parameters sec-
tion).
