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 for Water Hardness
Close and latch the door (lights on, dishwasher
not running).
Press the
SANI WASH
and
DELAY HOURS
pads
together 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.
To change the setting, press the
DELAY HOURS
pad the number of times that corresponds to the
water hardness value determined above. The
control will beep each time you press the pad.
Once finished pressing the pad, you will hear a
confirmation with beeps for the number of times
you pressed the pad.
If the number of beeps is not what you desire,
start pressing the
DELAY HOURS
pad again to
reenter a new water hardness level.
Once the water hardness is set, press the
START/RESET
pad to save the setting and return
the dishwasher to normal operation.
