Prior to the first use, the dishwasher needs to
be calibrated for water hardness. Please follow
directions below to calibrate the dishwasher to
the hardness of your tap water.
Determine the Hardness of Your Tap Water
In the bag containing these instructions, you should
find a water hardness test strip package. Read the
instructions on the package, remove the test strip and
follow the instructions to determine the hardness level
of your tap water. You will use this information to
calibrate your dishwasher to dispense the optimal
amount of detergent.
Water hardness test strip indication
Set Control to Calibration Mode
From the standby mode (dishwasher not running
a cycle and the panel lights on), enter the water
hardness selection mode.
Press the COOKWARE and DELAY HOURS pads at the
same time for 3 seconds.
Enter Water Hardness
Once in the water hardness calibration mode, the
3-digit display will appear and display a number
from a 1 to 5. If the water hardness has never been
entered, the display will show 5. Press the COOKWARE
pad to raise the value or the NORMAL WASH pad to
lower the value shown on the display. Set the value
according to the table at left as determined from
the water hardness test strip.
Return control to normal operation and save the last
displayed value as the new water hardness value.
Calibration is complete.
You should recalibrate the dispenser if water
conditions change, for example, if a water softener
system is added or removed from your home.
