About the unicouple (portable models only).
Before Operating the Dishwasher the First Time
Attach the faucet adapter. The special faucet
adapter supplied with your dishwasher must
be assembled to the sink faucet before you can
use your dishwasher.
The faucet adapter is designed to fit standard
spouts having internal or external threads. You
willfind the adapter and two washers in the
faucet adapter packet in your dishwasher.
To install faucet adapter, first remove the old
aerator or trim ring on your faucet spout.
If faucet has external threads: Insert the
thinner of the two washers into the faucet
adapter and attach itto the faucet spout.
/
Tighten with pliers.
How to Connect the Unicouple
[Z] Run the hot water faucet to purge cold
water from the hot water line.The hot
water must be between 120°F and 150°F
for best wash performance.
[] Pull Unicouple and its hoses completely out
from storage compartment located at rear
of dishwasher.
[-_ Attach the Unicouple connector to the
faucet adapter by depressing the collar at
the top of the connector. When Unicouple
is all the way up onto the adapter, release
the collar. Itwillthen snap into position to
lock the Unicouple in place.
If faucet has internal threads: Insert both
of the washersinto the faucet adapterand
attach it to the faucet spout.
Tighten with pliers.
If the faucet adapter threads do not match
your faucet spout, your local hardware
or plumbing supply store normally has
additional fittings to adapt your faucet spout
to the special faucet adapter.
NOTE:A sink spray attachment hose can
burst if it is installed on the same sink with
your dishwasher. We suggest that you
disconnect the sink spray attachment if your
sink has one and plug the hole.

Cleaning the Exterior Door Panel
Beforecleaning the front panel,make sure you know
what type of panel you have. Referto the last two
lettersof your model number. Youcan locate your
model number on the left-hand tub walljust inside the
door. Ifyour model number ends with BB,CC,WW,
SAor BG,then you have a painted door panel. Ifyour
model number ends with SS,then you have a Stainless
SteelDoor panel. Ifyour model number ends with CS,
then you have a CleanSteelpanel.
Followthe instructions below for cleaning the door
panel for your specific model.
Painted Door Panel (model numbers ending in BB-
black, CC-bisque, WW-white, SA-silver metallic or BG-
graphite black)
Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth, then dry
thoroughly. You may also use a good appliance wax
or polish.
Cleaning the Control Panel
Toclean the control panel,usea lightly dampened
cloth. Then dry thoroughly.
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 StainlessSteelMagic #WX! 0X!5
through GEPartsby calling 800.626.2002.
CleanSteel Door Panel (modelnumbersending in CS)
Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth, then dry
thoroughly. Do not use appliance wax, polish or any
chemical agent on CleanSteeldoors.
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.
Protect Against Freezing
Ifyour dishwasher is left in an unheated place during
the winter, ask a servicetechnician to:
r_cut off electrical power to the dishwasher.
Removefuses or trip circuit breaker.
E] Turn off the water supply and disconnect the
water inlet line from the water valve.
Does Your Dishwasher Have an Air Gap?
An air gap protects your dishwasher against water
backing up into it ifa drain clogs.Theair gap isnot
a part of the dishwasher. It is not covered by your
warranty. Not all plumbing codes require air gaps,
soyou may not have one.
r31 Drain water from the water inlet line and water
valve.(Usea pan to catch the water.)
j4-] Reconnectthe water inlet line to the water valve.
The air gup is easy to clean.
r_ Turn off the dishwasher and liftoff the cover.
Remove the plastic cup and clean with
E]a toothpick.
