Prior to the first use, the dishwasher needs
to be calibrated for water hardness. Please follow
the directions below to calibrate the dishwasher
to the hardness of your tap water.
Determine the Hardness of Your Tap Water
In the bag that contained 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.
