To customise the warning accordingto the water used, proceed as follows:• check the hardness of your water using theindicator paper I provided:- dip the paper in the water for 1 second,- shake to remove excess water;- wait for 1 minute;- compare the result with the followingtable to confirm the hardness of yourwater.0 - 9 °F10 - 18 °F19 - 36 °F36 °F⋀• set the appliance according to the hardnessmeasured:- use a coin to turn the water hardness re-gulator L to the position correspondingSoftMediumMedium-hardVery hard
