Warning! – To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, always
exercise basic safety precautions, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
3. Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep
them out of reach of children.
4. When loading items to be washed:
1) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal;
2) Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
5. Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe” or the
equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
6. Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
7. Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
8. Do not tamper with controls.
9. Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish racks of the dishwasher.
10. To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.
11. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that
has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot
water system has not been for such a period, before using the dishwasher turn on all
hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will
release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use
an open flame during this time.
12. Remove the door or lid to the washing compartment when removing an old
dishwasher from service or discarding it.
Remember to record the model and
serial number. They are on a label in the
dishwasher.
Staple your receipt to your manual.
You will need it to obtain warranty

English
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For a grounded, cord-connected dishwasher:
The dishwasher must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric
current. The dishwasher is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that
is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipement-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 dishwasher is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the dishwasher; if it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
For a permanently connected dishwasher:
The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an
equipement-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected
to the equipement-grounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher.
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 off the dishwasher does not disconnect the appliance from the power
supply. We recommend having a qualified technician service your appliance.

START-UP GUIDE
Before using your dishwasher, remove all packaging materials. Read this entire Owner’s
Manual. You will find important safety information and useful operating tips.
USING YOUR NEW DISHWASHER
1. Rinse aid is essential for good drying. Be sure to fill the dispenser
before you use your new dishwasher. Each filling will last about 1 to
3 months depending on your usage.
2. Scrape leftover food and hard items (toothpicks or bones) from dishes. You do not
need to pre-rinse your dishes.
3. Properly load the dishwasher. (See “Dishwasher Loading”) Load dishes with space in
between so water will reach the soiled surfaces. Make sure nothing prevents the spray
arm(s) from spinning freely.
4. Add detergent. Always use a quality brand detergent. (See “Dishwasher Use”)
5. Press the desired cycle and option selections. (See “Dishwasher Use”)
For integrated control models, press
lights will glow.

DISHWASHER LOADING
LOADING SUGGESTIONS
• Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard items from the dishes. To
conserve water and energy and save time, it is not necessary to rinse dishes before
putting them into the dishwasher. The wash module contains a food disposer which will
reduce the size of food items.
NOTE:
If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and eggshells enter the wash module, you
might hear chopping, grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds are
normal when hard items enter the module. Do not let metallic items (such as pot
handle screws) get into the wash module. Damage may occur.
• It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.
• Load dishes so they are not too close together, stacked or overlapping if possible. For
best drying results, water must be able to drain from all surfaces.
• Load heavy pots and pans carefully. Heavy items can dent the stainless steel interior of
the door if they are dropped or bumped.
• Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not interfere with the
spray arm rotation.
• Conserve water, energy and save time spent hand-rinsing by running a rinse cycle to
keep dishes moist if you do not plan to wash them soon. Foods such as eggs, rice,
pasta, spinach and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if they are left to dry over a
period of time.
QUIET OPERATING TIPS
To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:
• Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks.
• Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not touch interior
walls or interfere with the spray arm rotation.
LOAD DISHES SO THEY DO NOT TOUCH ONE ANOTHER.
•
NOTE:
If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and eggshells enter the wash module, you
might hear chopping, grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds are
normal when hard items pass through the food disposer.

Cup and Glass Load
• China, crystal and other delicate items must not touch each other during dishwasher
operation. Damage may occur.
• Load plastic items in the top rack only. Only plastic items marked “dishwasher safe” are
recommended.
• Load plstic items so the force of the spray does not move them during the cycle.
• To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items. Small bowls, pans and other
utensils can be placed in the top rack. Load bowls in the center section for best stability.

12.2” (31 cm) tall, fit in the bottom rack. (See recommended loading patterns shown)
NOTE:
The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the drawings shown.
Dish Settings
• Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items in the bottom rack. Load small items in the
bottom rack only if they are secured in place.
• Load plates, soup bowls, etc. between tines.
• Load soup, cereal and serving bowls in the rack in a variety of ways depending upon
their size and shape. Load bowls securely between the rows of tines. Do not nest bowls
because the spray will not reach all surfaces.
Utensil Load
• Load cookie sheets, cake pans and other large items at the sides and back. Loading
such items in front can keep the water spray from reaching the detergent dispenser.
10
English
Mixed Load
• Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.
• Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation of the spray arm(s). The
spray arm(s) must move freely.
• Do not load items between the bottom rack and the side of the dishwasher tub because
they might block the water inlet opening.
NOTE:
Spin the spray arms. Be sure items in the basket do not stop the rotation of the
spray arms.

LOADING SILVERWARE BASKET
Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or remove the basket and place it
on a counter or table for loading. (See recommended loading pattern shown)
NOTE:
Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks to avoid spilling water
droplets on the silverware.
• Load items with covers down, using the separators to prevent silverware nesting.
• Place small items such as baby bottle caps, jar lids, corncob holders, etc. in the
section(s) with hinged cover(s). Close the cover to hold small items in place.
• When covers are up, mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and
some pointing down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested items.
• Do not load silver or silver-plated silverware with stainless steel. These metals can be
damaged by contact with each other during washing.
• Some foods (such as salt, vinegar, milk products, fruit juices, etc.) can pit or corrode
silverware. Run a rinse cycle if you have a full load to wash immediately.

DISHWASHER USE
PROPER USE OF DETERGENT
Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Cascade, Cascade Complete
and Finish dishwashing detergents, and Jet-Dry and Cascade Crystal Clear rinse agents
have been approved for use in all GE dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry.
Don’t put powder detergent into the dispenser until you’re ready to wash dishes.
All wash cycles except
Detergent Dispenser
The detergent dispenser has 2 sections. The small Pre-Wash section empties detergent
into dishwasher when you close the door.
The larger Main Wash section automatically empties detergent into dishwasher during the
wash. (See the “Cycle Selection Charts”)
• Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents can produce excessive
suds that can overflow out of the dishwasher and reduce washer performance.
• Add detergent just before starting a cycle.
• Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place. Fresh automatic dishwasher
detergent results in better cleaning.
NOTE:
Do not use detergent with a rinse cycle.
RINSE ONLY

Filling the Dispenser
1. If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by pushing the cover latch.
13
English
2. Fill the Main Wash section with detergent. See “How Much Detergent To Use”.
3. Fill the Pre-Wash section, if needed.
4. Close the dispenser cover.
It is normal for the cover to open partially when dispensing detergent.
NOTE:
Use both sections for cycles with 2 washes. Use only the Main Wash section for
cycles with 1 wash. See the “Cycle Selection Charts” for more details.
How Much Detergent To Use
• The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of your water and the type of
detergent. If you use too little, dishes won`t be clean. If you use too much in soft water,
glassware will etch.
• New detergents formulations are phosphate free. Detergents without phosphates tend
to leave mineral deposits on glassware and other items, leading to poor wash
performance complaints. The deposits are in the form of a white film on glassware and
other items, even the dishwasher tub itself. The easiest way to remove the white film is
to run their glassware and dishware through a dishwasher cycle using citric acid. Please
contact your local parts supplier to purchase kits of citric acid.
The use of a rinse agent may help minimize a repeat build up of film.
14
English
Rinse Aid Dispenser
Rinse aids prevent water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. They also
improve drying by allowing water to drain off the dishes during the final rinse by releasing
a small amount of the rinse aid into the rinse water. Your dishwasher is designed to use a
liquid rinse aid. Do not use a solid or bar-type.
Filling the Dispenser
The rinse aid dispenser holds 4.8 oz (145 mL) of rinse aid. Under normal conditions, this will
last for about three months. Rinse aid is released through an opening in the dispenser. You
do not need to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill it. Try to keep it full, but be careful
not to overfill it.
1. Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.
2. Open the dispenser by pushing the cover latch.
3. Add rinse aid until the indicator window looks full.
4. Clean up any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth.
5. Close the cover.
Rinse Aid Setting
The amount of rinse aid released into the final wash can be adjusted. The factory setting is
at 3. For most water conditions, set the adjuster to 2 or 3. If there are rings of calcium
(hard water) spots on dishes, try a higher setting.
To Adjust the Setting
Open the dispenser cover. Turn the adjuster inside the dispenser to the desired setting.
