IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING — SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, and to prevent property damage, personal injury, or death.

WATER HEATER SAFETY

PROPER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE

This dishwasher must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used. If you did not receive an Installation Instructions sheet with your dishwasher, you can receive one by visiting our website at ge.com.

■Contents washed in Anti-bacterial mode, if

available, may be hot to the touch. Use care before handling.

■Using a detergent that is

not specifically designed for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds.

■If your dishwasher is connected to a

wall switch, ensure that the switch is on prior to use.

■On dishwashers with electronic

controls, if you choose to turn the wall switch off between wash cycles, allow 5–10 seconds after turning the switch on before touching ON/OFF to allow the control to reboot.

■Non-Dishware Items: Do not wash items such

as electronic air cleaner filters, furnace filters and paint brushes in your dishwasher. Damage to dishwasher and discoloration or staining of dishwasher may result.

■Close supervision is necessary if this appliance

is used by or near children.

■Load light, plastic items so they will not

become dislodged and drop to the bottom of the dishwasher—they might come into contact with the heating element and be damaged.

■Connect to a grounded metal, permanent wiring

system; or run an equipment-grounding conductor with the circuit conductors and connect to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead of the appliance.

■Improper connection of the equipment-grounding

conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded.

■Dispose of discarded appliances and shipping

or packing material properly.

■Do not attempt to repair or replace any part

of your dishwasher unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

■To minimize the possibility of electric shock,

disconnect this appliance from the power supply before attempting any maintenance.

NOTE: Turning the dishwasher off does not disconnect the appliance from the power supply. We recommend having a qualified technician service your appliance.

WARNING!

CAUTION: To prevent minor injury or property damage

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.

If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning on all hot water faucets and allow them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical appliance which is connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any builtup hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process.

Jet-Dry®or Cascade Crystal Clear®rinse agent removes spots and prevents new film buildup on your

dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware and plastic.

Filling the Dispenser

The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.5 oz. of rinse agent . Under normal conditions, this will last approximately one month. Try to keep it full, but do not overfill.

Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.

Turn the dispenser cap to the left and lift it out.

Add rinse agent until the indicator window looks full.

Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth.

Replace the dispenser cap.

Rinse Aid Setting

The amount of rinse agent released into the final wash can be adjusted. The factory setting is at the midpoint. If there are rings of calcium (hard water) spots on dishes, try a higher setting. If you observe foam in the final rinse, try a lower setting.

To adjust the setting

Remove the dispenser knob; then turn the adjuster counterclockwise to increase the amount of rinse agent or clockwise to reduce the amount of rinse agent dispensed.

The entering water should be at least 120°F and not more than 150°F for effective cleaning and to prevent dish damage. Check the water temperature with a candy or meat thermometer.

Turn on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher, place the thermometer in a glass and let the water run continuously into the glass until the temperature stops rising.

Proper Use of Detergent

Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Cascade®and Electrasol

Automatic Dishwashing Detergents have been approved. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don’t put detergent into the dispenser until you’re ready to wash dishes.

The amount of detergent to use depends on whether your water is hard or soft. With hard water, you need extra detergent. With soft water, you need less detergent.

Protect your dishes and dishwasher by contacting your water department and asking how hard your water is. Twelve or more grains is extremely hard water. A water softener is recommended. Without it, lime can build up in the water valve, which could stick while open and cause flooding. Too much detergent with soft water can cause a permanent cloudiness of glassware, called etching.

Use the information in the table below as a guideline to determine the amount of automatic dishwasher detergent to place in the dispenser.

When using automatic dishwasher detergent tablets, simply place one tablet in the dispenser and close the cover.

To open the wash cover, press the button and the cover will flip back.

For heavily-soiled loads, use the Pots and Pans or Heavy Wash cycles and add a little extra detergent.

DO NOT USE HAND DISH DETERGENT

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.

Loading the dishwasher racks.

Silverware Basket

The silverware basket may be used without the topper for quick loading. With the topper, flatware is better positioned for the dishwasher to thoroughly wash and dry all pieces by preventing nesting.

Without the topper

Put the flatware in the removable basket with fork and knife handles up to protect your hands. Place spoons in the basket with handles down. Mix knives, forks and spoons so they don’t nest together. Distribute evenly. Small plastic items, such as measuring spoons and lids from small containers, should go in the bottom of the silverware basket with silverware on top.

With the topper

Place small plastic items, such as measuring spoons and lids from small containers, in the bottom of the basket and snap the topper in place. Insert spoons and forks, handles first , through the holes in the topper. Place knives, blades first, through the holes in the topper.

For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model.

Upper Rack

The upper rack is for glasses, cups and saucers. This is also a secure place for dishwasher-safe plastics. A cup shelf may be placed in the up or down position to add flexibility. The upper rack is good for all kinds of odd-shaped utensils. Saucepans, mixing bowls and other items should be placed face down.

Secure larger dishwasher-safe plastics over two tines when possible. Make sure small plastic items are secure so they can’t fall onto the heater. Be sure that items do not protrude through the bottom of the rack and

block rotation of the middle spray arm. This could result in poor wash performance for items in the upper rack.

Lower Rack

When loading the lower rack, do not load large platters or trays in the front left corner. They may prevent detergent from circulating during the wash cycle.

The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers and cookware. Large items should go along the sides. Load platters, pots and bowls along the sides, in corners or in the back. The soiled side of items should face the center of the rack.

Be careful not to let a portion of any item such as a pot or dish handle extend through the bottom rack. This could block the wash arm and cause poor washing results.

To clean the control panel, use a lightly dampened cloth, then dry thoroughly. To clean the exterior, use a good appliance polish wax. Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.

Cleaning the Door Panel

Before cleaning the front panel, make sure you know what type of panel you have. Refer to the last two letters of your model number. You can locate your model number on the left-hand tub wall just inside the door. If your model number ends with BB or WW, then you have a Painted Door panel. If your model number ends with SS, then you have a Stainless Steel Door panel.

Follow the instructions below for cleaning the door panel for your specific model.

Painted Door Panel (model numbers ending in BB–black or WW–white)

Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth, then dry thoroughly. You may also use a good appliance wax or polish.

Stainless Steel Door Panel (model numbers ending in SS)

The stainless steel panels can be cleaned with Stainless Steel Magic or a similar product using a clean, soft cloth. Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach or products containing chlorine on Stainless Steel doors.

You can order Stainless Steel Magic #WX10X15 through GE Parts by calling

800.626.2002.

Do not wipe the dishwasher with a soiled dish cloth or wet towel. These may leave a residue. Do not use scouring pads or powdered cleaners because these products can scratch the finish.

The dishwasher will flush away all normal food soils. However, objects (fruit pits, bones, etc.) may collect in openings and should be removed occasionally to avoid clogging the drain system.

CAUTION

Personal injury hazard. Before cleaning the interior, wait at least 20 minutes after a cycle for the heating element to cool down. Failure to do so could result in burn injuries.

Cleaning the Spray Arms

Because hard water chemicals will clog the spray arm jets and bearings, it is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly. To remove the spray arm, twist the retaining nut 90 degrees and pull the spray arm off the shaft.

Wash the arms in soapy, warm water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them after rinsing thoroughly.

Cleaning the Filters

For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned regularly. The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing water to be recirculated during the cycle. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the large food particles trapped in the filter frequently by rinsing the main filter and cup under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull up on the cup handle. The entire filter assembly should be cleaned at

least once a month. To clean the main filter and fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the filter parts as shown in the illustration and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning it in place and pressing downward. The dishwasher must never be used without the filters. Improper replacement of the filter may reduce the performance level of the appliance and may damage dishes and utensils.

Protect Against Freezing

If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a service technician to:

Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher. Remove fuses or trip circuit breaker.

Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet line from the water valve.

Drain water from the water inlet line and water valve. (Use a pan to catch the water.)

Reconnect the water inlet line to the water valve.

Check the air gap any time your dishwasher isn’t draining well.

Does Your Dishwasher Have an Air Gap?

An air gap protects your dishwasher against water backing up into it if a drain clogs. The air gap is not a part of the dishwasher. It is not covered by your warranty. Not all plumbing codes require air gaps, so you may not have one.

The air gap is easy to clean.

Turn off the dishwasher and lift off the chrome cover.

Remove the plastic cap and clean with a toothpick.

Two types of air gaps

Stainless Steel Interior— Tub and Inner Door

The stainless steel used to make the dishwasher tub and inner door provides the highest reliability available in a GE dishwasher. If the

dishwasher tub or inner door should be scratched or dented during normal use, they will not rust or corrode. These surface blemishes will not affect their function or durability.
