ProperUseofDetergent
Use only detergent specifically made for' use in dishwashers° Cascade e Automatic Dishwashing Detergent has 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.
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 isoTwelve or more grains is extremely hard water, A water softener is recommended. Widlout it, time can build up in the water valve, which could stick while open and cause flooding. Too much detergent with soft _ter can cause a permanent cloudiness of glassware, called etching.
You'll find two detergent dispensers on the inside door of your dishwasher: All wash cycles except glNSE ONLY require detergent in the Open ci
main cup. Wash cycles with two washes _fill also use the open cup. V_q_en using automatic dishwashing detergent tabs, simply place one tab in the main cup and close.
Be sure the Dial is OFF before adding detergenL Otherwise, tire detergent cup will not close and latch properly Add detergent then close the main cup.
NOTE:To open detergent cup after it has been closed, simply tm-n Ore detergent cup handle counter-clockwise until it releases.
