Testing strip
The washing effectiveness of your machine depends 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).
