PROPER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
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.

Operating Instructions Safety InstructionsConsumer Support Troubleshooting Tips
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.
WATER HEATER SAFETY
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.
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.
■ Connect to a grounded metal, permanent
wiring system; or run an equipmentgrounding conductor with the circuit
conductors and connect to the equipmentgrounding 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.
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

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).
WARNING! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
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®and Electrasol
®
Automatic Dishwashing Detergents, and
Jet-Dry®and Cascade Crystal Clear®rinse
agents have been approved for use in all
GE dishwashers.
■ Using a detergent that is not specifically
designed for dishwashers will cause the
dishwasher to fill with suds.
■ 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.

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.

Using the dishwasher.
Proper Use of Detergent
Use only detergent specifically made for use
in dishwashers. Cascade
®
, Cascade Complete
®
and Electrasol®Automatic Dishwashing
Detergents have been approved for use in
all GE dishwashers. Keep your detergent
fresh and dry. Don’t put powdered 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.
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. ge.com
Silverware Basket
The silverware basket may be used without the topper for quick
loading; with the topper, it may be beneficial for holding small items
in place.
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.
About optional accessories.
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 fingers when possible.
Make sure small plastic items are secure so they can’t fall onto the heating element.
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.

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, WW or CC, then
you have a Painted Door panel. If your
model number ends with SS, then you
have a Stainless Steel Door panel. If your
model number ends with CS, then you
have a CleanSteel Door panel.
Follow the instructions below for cleaning
the door panel for your specific model.
Painted Door Panel (model numbers ending in
BB–black, WW–white or CC–bisque)
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.
CleanSteel Door Panel (model numbers
ending in CS)
Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth,
then dry thoroughly. Do not use appliance
wax, polish or any chemical agent on
CleanSteel doors.
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.
11
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.

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.
