Very Hard Water
If you have hard wafer (above 15 grains), clean your filter at least once per month. Building up of white residue on your
dishwasher indicates hard water. You may bring your water samples to Sears to check hardness level. For tips on
removing spots and stains, see “Troubleshooting” section.
