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.

Calibration of Models With 3-Digit Display
1. Open the door and touch a pad
(other than START/RESET) to turn the lights on.
2. Press the “Up” Arrow Pad and DELAY
HOURS pad at the same time for 3 seconds.
The display will show a number from 1 to 5.
This is the water hardness value currently set.
3. Press the “Up” Arrow Pad to raise
the value or the “Down” Arrow Pad
to lower the value. Set the water hardness
value to the number determined with
the test strip and table above.

Calibration of Models Without 3-Digit Display
1. Open the door and touch a pad to turn lights on.
2. Press the “Up” arrow pad and DELAY HOURS
pad at the same time for 3 seconds. All lights
will light up and you will hear 1 to 5 beeps. The
number of beeps indicates the current hardness
value.
3. To change the setting, press the DELAY HOURS
pad the number of times that corresponds to the
water hardness value determined at the left. The
control will beep each time you press the pad.
4. Once finished pressing the pad, you will hear a
confirmation with beeps for the number of times
you pressed the pad.
5. If the number of beeps is not what you desire,
start pressing the DELAY HOURS pad again to
reenter a new water hardness level.
6. Once the water hardness is set, press the
START/RESET pad to save the setting and return
the dishwasher to normal operation.
NOTE: You should recalibrate the dishwasher control
if water conditions change; for example, if a water
softener system is added or removed from your
home.
