Switching the appliance on for the first time
During initial starting up, you can set the language, the time and the water
hardness. The settings can be changed at a later point in time (see chap-
ter 8 Changing basic settings on page 32 and chapter 9.8 Setting the
water hardness on page 42).
Use the enclosed test strip to determine the water hardness. Observe the
instructions on the test strip packaging and in table Water hardness range
on page 47.

starting up.
