1. If a total hardness test strip (D1) is supplied with the
model of machine in question, remove it from its wrapper.
2. Immerse the strip completely in a glass of water for about
one second (fig. 12).
3. Remove the strip from the water and shake lightly (fig.
13). After about a minute, 1, 2, 3, or 4 red squares appear,
depending on the hardness of the water. Each square cor-
responds to one level.
