IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or death.
WATER HEATER SAFETY
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 built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process.
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.
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 GEAppliances.com.
■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 equipmentgrounding 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.
■Use supply conductors rated at least 75°C (167°F).
■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!
DO NOT…
■Do not tamper with controls.
■Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.
■Do not discard a dishwasher without first removing the door of the washing compartment.
■Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
■Do not allow children to play around dishwasher when opening or closing door due to the possibility of small fingers being pinched in door.
■Do not allow children to play with, on or around this appliance or any discarded appliance.

WARNING! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE DISHWASHER
Junked or abandoned dishwashers are dangerous…even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old dishwasher, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Dishwasher:
■ Take off the door of the washing compartment or remove the door latch keeper (as shown).
Door latch keeper
WHEN USING YOUR DISHWASHER
■Use only powder, tabs, liquid detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a
dishwasher and keep them out of the reach of children. Cascade®, Cascade Complete® and Electrasol® Automatic Dishwashing Detergents, and Jet-Dry® rinse agent have been approved for use in all GE dishwashers.
■Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.
■Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
■Do not wash plastic items unless marked dishwasher-safe or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
■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.
■Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
■Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
■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.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Control Settings
The Status
The Status display tells you what is happening while the dishwasher is in operation and also any malfunctions if they occur (see page 6). The lights will come ON indicating the sequence of operation the dishwasher is in.
SENSING Displayed during periods using CleanSensor technology to measure the amount of soil in the load and decide if another prewash is needed. The SENSING light is displayed only during NORMAL and POTS & PANS cycles.
WASHING Displayed during prewash and main wash periods.
RINSING Displayed during rinse periods.
DRYING Displayed during SPEED DRYING/HEATED DRYING.
SANITIZED Displayed when cycle has met sanitization conditions. Light remains ON until door is opened.
Load Selections
The light above the selected pad will be ON to indicate which LOAD SELECTION has been selected.
SANI WASH This cycle raises the water temperature in the final rinse to sanitize your dishware. The cycle length will vary depending on the temperature of your inlet water.
NOTE: The SaniWash cycle is monitored for sanitization requirements. If the cycle is interrupted during or after the main wash portion or if the incoming water temperature is so low that adequate water heating cannot be achieved, the sanitizing conditions will not be met. In these cases, the sanitized light will not illuminate at the end of the cycle.
NOTE: Only the SaniWash cycle has been designated to meet the requirements of NSF184 for soil removal and sanitization efficiency. Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.
POTS & PANS For heavily soiled dishes or cookware with dried-on or baked-on soils. Everyday dishes may be included. This cycle will not remove burned-on foods.
NORMAL For loads of everyday dishes, glasses and cookware with medium soils. NOTE: Many dishes have lighter soil than normal. Choosing a cycle other than NORMAL will save energy and water.
SPEED WASH/ For dishes with light soils.
LIGHT WASH
CHINA CRYSTAL For lightly soiled china and crystal.
RINSE ONLY For rinsing partial loads that will be washed later. Do not use detergent.
Options
The light above the selected pad will be ON to indicate which OPTION has been selected.
POWER For use with heavily soiled and/or dried-on, baked-on soils. This option MUST be selected PRIOR to starting the cycle.
PRESOAK This option adds 16 minutes to the cycle time.
SPEED DRY/ Shuts off the drying heat option. Dishes air dry naturally and energy is saved. You can prop the door open after the CLEAN light HEATED DRY illuminates.
OFF
SPEED DRY/ Turns the heater on for fast drying. This cycle will extend the time to your wash cycle by 23 minutes for the NORMAL cycle and HEATED DRY 30 minutes for the SANI WASH cycle. NOTE: Cannot be selected with RINSE ONLY cycle.
ON
LOCK When the LOCK pad is touched twice within 3 seconds, all pads become inoperative. You can lock the controls to prevent any selections from being made. Or you can lock the controls after you have started a cycle or selected DELAY START so the cycle or DELAY START is not interrupted.
Children cannot accidentally start dishwasher by touching pads with this option selected.
To unlock the dishwasher after it has been locked, touch the LOCK pad twice within 3 seconds. The light above the LOCK pad will turn off.
DELAY START You can delay the start of a wash cycle for up to 8 hours. Press the DELAY START pad to choose the number of hours you want to delay the start of the cycle. The machine will count down and start automatically at the correct time. Pressing the START/RESET button will cancel the DELAY START selection. NOTE: If you forget to latch the door, a reminder signal will beep until you do so.
RESET To change a cycle after washing starts, touch the START/RESET pad to cancel the cycle. After water is pumped out and the motor stops, you can reprogram and restart the dishwasher. This will take approximately 90 seconds.
Start
Close and latch the door. Touch the START/RESET pad to begin the cycle. Water fill begins, and approximately 40 seconds later the wash action begins.
NOTE: The dishwasher remembers your last cycle so you don’t have to reprogram each time. When the dishwasher is loaded and the door latch is in the locked position, the control panel lights will be ON and display the last settings you selected.
If you don’t want to change any of the settings, simply touch the START/RESET pad to begin the cycle.
Also, if a power failure occurs, NORMAL and SPEED DRY/HEATED DRY will automatically be programmed. Make any new selections and touch the START/RESET pad to begin the cycle.
Clean
This light is illuminated when a wash cycle is complete. The light will stay ON until the door is opened. |
