GE Monogram PDW8000 Dishwasher User Manual


 
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 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.

Close and latch the door (lights on, dishwasher
not running).
Press the COOKWARE and DELAY HOURS pads
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.
Press the COOKWARE pad to raise the value or
the NORMAL pad to lower the value. Set the
water hardness value to the number determined
with the test strip and table above.
Once the water hardness is set, press the
START/RESET pad to save the setting and return
the dishwasher to normal operation.
