SmartDispense Detergent Dispenser (Cont.)

DO NOT USE HAND DISH DETERGENT

Water hardness calibration

Safety

NOTE: Using a detergent that is not specifically designed for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds. During operation, these suds will spill out of the dishwasher vents, covering the kitchen floor and making the floor wet.

Because so many detergent containers look alike, store the dishwasher detergent in a separate space from all other cleaners. Show anyone who may use the dishwasher the correct detergent and where it is stored.

While there will be no lasting damage to the dishwasher, your dishes will not get clean using a dishwashing detergent that is not formulated to work with dishwashers.

Before You Use Your SmartDispense Detergent Dispenser

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 containing 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.

Once in the water hardness calibration mode, the

3-digit display will appear and display a number from 1 to 5. If the water hardness has never been entered, the display will show 5. Otherwise, it will show the

hardness previously entered. The “Up” or “Down” Arrow Pads, on the top control panel, may be

pressed to change the value shown on the display. The COOKWARE and NORMAL pads, on the front control panel, may be pressed to change the value shown on the display. Set the value according to the table at left as determined from the water hardness test strip.

Press the START/RESET pad to return the control to Standby mode and save the last displayed value as the new water hardness value. Calibration is complete.

You should recalibrate the dispenser if water conditions change, for example, if a water softener system is added or removed from your home.
