Prior to its fi rst use, the dishwasher must be
calibrated for water hardness. This process requires
the use of a water hardness test strip (Part #
WD01X10295).
Test water hardness following the instructions on
the test strip package shown above.
The 4 light green stripes on the test strip change
color depending on the water hardness. The harder
the water, the more stripes change from green to
red.
Note: If all stripes remain green after the test, the
outcome is "0 RED." The value to be entered into the
dishwasher is "1."
Convert the test reading according to the table
below.
