the transparent section on the salt compartment cap. There is sufficient salt if the transparent section
is green. Salt has to be added if the transparent section is not green.
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).
