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 switch off
between wash cycles, allow 5-10
seconds after turning the switch on before
touching START/RESET 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.

GHDA600 Series, GLD6000 Series)
You can locate your model number on the tub wall just inside the door.
Throughout this manual, features and
appearance may vary from your model.
Control Settings
Status Indicator Lights
The Status display tells you what’s happening while the dishwasher is in operation and may flash, indicating a
malfunction (see page 8). The lights will come ON indicating the sequence of operation the dishwasher is in.
SENSING Displayed while the sensor is measuring the amount of soil and temperature of water.
(on some models) The dishwasher will adjust the selected cycle to achieve optimal performance.
WASHING Displayed during prewash and main wash periods.
(on some models)
RINSING Displayed during rinse periods.
(on some models)
DRYING Displayed during HEATED DRY.
(on some models)
SANITIZED Displayed when cycle has met sanitization conditions. Light remains ON until door is opened.
CLEAN Displayed when a wash cycle is complete. The light stays ON as a reminder that the dishes are
clean until the door is relatched or until another cycle is selected.
Time Remaining Display (on some models)
During operation, the display shows the minutes remaining until the cycle is complete. The display may adjust the
remaining time while the sensing light is on. The time displayed at the start of each cycle may change from the
factory setting as the unit customizes itself to home use. During a delay start, the display will show hours of time
remaining until the cycle starts.
Cycles
The light above the selected pad will be ON to indicate which cycle has been selected.
This dishwasher is equipped with a dirt and temperature sensor. Cycle length and time will vary depending on the
soil level and temperature.
ANTI-BACTERIA Heavy 8.5 gal., 84 min.
or SANI WASH Medium 7.3 gal., 78 min.
Light 6.1 gal., 75 min.
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 Anti-Bacteria 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 may not be met. In
these cases, the sanitized light will not illuminate at the end of the cycle.
NOTE: NSF certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.

SPEED CYCLE 7.3 gal., 35 min.
or
This cycle is for everyday dishes and glassware.
SPEED WASH

CHINA CRYSTAL 7.3 gal., 48 min.
(on some models)
This cycle is for lightly soiled china and crystal.
RINSE ONLY 2.5 gal., 12 min.
For rinsing partial loads that will be washed later. Do not use detergent with this cycle.
NOTE: Only the Anti-Bacteria cycle has been designed to meet the requirements of Section 6, NSF 184 for
soil removal and sanitization efficacy.
Options
The light above the selected pad will be ON to indicate which option has been selected.
PRE SCRUB For use with heavily soiled and/or dried-on, baked-on soils. This option MUST be selected PRIOR to
(on some models) starting the cycle. This option adds 16 minutes to the cycle time. NOTE: Cannot be selected with
RINSE ONLY cycle.
HEATED DRY Shuts off the drying heat option. Dishes air dry naturally and energy is saved. For faster air dry,
Light OFF you can prop the door open after the CLEAN light illuminates.
HEATED DRY Turns the heater on for fast drying. This will extend the total run time by 8 minutes for the SPEED
Light ON CYCLE, 38 minutes for NORMAL and POTS/PANS, and 30 minutes for all other cycles.
NOTE: Cannot be selected with RINSE ONLY cycle.
LOCK You can lock the controls to prevent any selections from being made. Or you can lock the controls
after you have started a cycle.
Children cannot accidentally start dishwasher by touching pads with this option selected.
To LOCK the dishwasher control, touch and hold the HEATED DRY pad for 3 seconds. The light
below the HEATED DRY pad will turn on. To UNLOCK the dishwasher control, touch and hold the
HEATED DRY pad for 3 seconds. The LOCK light will turn off.
ADDED When selected, the cycle will run longer with the heating element on to improve both wash and
HEAT dry performance. NOTE: Cannot be selected with RINSE ONLY cycle.
DELAY HOURS You can delay the start of a wash cycle for up to 9 hours. Touch the DELAY HOURS pad to choose
the number of hours you want to delay the start of the cycle; then touch START/RESET one time.
The dishwasher will count down and start automatically at the correct time. Touching
START/RESET a second time will cancel the DELAY START selection.
RESET To change a cycle after washing starts, touch the START/RESET pad to cancel the cycle. The
START/RESET light will flash while the water is pumped out if needed. This takes approximately
90 seconds. When the light stops flashing, the dishwasher can be reprogrammed and restarted.
Start
Close and latch the dishwasher door and select the cycle and desired enhancements. Touch the START/RESET pad
once to begin the cycle. Water begins to fill the dishwasher, and approximately 60 seconds later the wash action
begins. Touching the START/RESET pad a second time will cancel the cycle and cause the water to drain out. This will
take approximately 2 minutes.
NOTE: The dishwasher remembers your last cycle so you don’t have to reprogram each time. When the dishwasher
door is fully closed, the control panel lights will display the last settings you selected.
If you don’t want to change any of the settings, simply touch the START/RESET pad once to begin the cycle.
If the door is closed, the indicator lights will turn off if the START/RESET pad is not pressed within two minutes.
To activate the display, open and close the door or touch any pad.
Also, if a power failure occurs, NORMAL and HEATED DRY will automatically be programmed.
